Quote by Peter Drucker

Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change.

Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them infle

Summary

This quote suggests that charisma, although appealing, can be detrimental to leaders. While charismatic leaders may captivate and inspire others, they risk becoming rigid in their beliefs and unwilling to adapt or acknowledge their own flaws. This inflexibility can ultimately lead to their downfall, as effective leadership often requires openness to change and the ability to consider different perspectives. Thus, this quote emphasizes the negative consequences of charisma when it hinders a leader's capacity to grow and evolve.

The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry, or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile

In my dream I know I am falling. But there is no up or down, no walls or sides or ceilings, just the sensation of cold and darkness everywhere. I am so scared I could scream.

O, now, for ever Farewell the tranquil mind farewell content Farewell the plumed troop and the big wars That make ambition virtue O, farewell Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war And, O you mortal engines, whose rude throats The immortal Jove's dread clamours counterfeit, Farewell Othello's occupation's gone
