                        not because managers lack charisma,

                        but because far too few executives have a clear

                        understanding of what leadership is, and what it

                        can accomplish.   Without such a vision, even

                        the most capable people have great difficulty

                        trying to lead effectively and to create the cultures

                        which will help others to lead."                (John Kotter)
