Quotable (Heifetz & Laurie, on calibrating and communicating expectations)

“A leader must strike a delicate balance between having people feel the need to change and having them feel overwhelmed by change . . . A leader is responsible for direction, protection, orientation, managing conflict, and shaping norms.”  The Work of Leadership, Ronald A. Heifetz & Donald L. Laurie
