“... Bezos personifies a new breed of executive that arose with the emergence of the game-changing technologies in the 1980s and 1990s ... a 'productive narcissist'. ... These executives have big enough egos to make up seemingly random rules of business leadership. However, unlike other narcissists, they get the job done.”

“When work relationships are reciprocal, ethical leadership emerges for both the executive and the participant unless the executive is trying to control the participant.”

“My definition of an executive's job is brief and to the point. It is simply this: Getting things done through other people.”

“Leadership is finding your voice,inspiring others to find their voice,empowering people and executing actions that get the world better.”

“Just as a good chief executive officer keeps looking for ways to change because he or she knows that nothing will be the same in five years, so you, too, as the chief executive officer of your own life, must always be looking for better ways to make changes. You must be flexible enough to get around the new obstacles that are looming on the horizon, and you must be willing to change course if you have to.”

“Open Leadership: the act of engaging others to influence and execute a coordinated and harmonious conclusion. ”
