Some of the contradictory qualities in the book I agree with the most include taking ownership while empowering subordinates, being attentive to details but not being obsessed, and being aggressive but not overbearing.

He puts that slogan not because he certainly believes in it but because this it what everyone around him does.

Ronald Heifetz presents a theory of leadership in which he redefines leadership as an activity rather than a position of influence. He insists that it is high time that society abandons the idea, “leaders are born and not made”. Heifetz believes that leaders are confronted with two types of problems: technical problems, which can be solved by expertise and good management, and “adaptive” problems, such as poverty, drug abuse, and racial tensions, which require innovation and learning. Performing adaptive leadership requires that people change their values. Leadership consists not of answers or assured visions, but of acting to clarify values.
He was going to get the people who were not completely defeated by the rules. He wanted to show them the words “I” and “ego”.

He wants his children to know hard work can only be done if you’re able to show you can handle any obstacle in your path. In all honesty, laziness should be of no virtue, if one does not wish to be nagged or punished.
Leadership Anyone can lead a team, but it takes a true leader to lead on a successful team or group. Great leaders set themselves apart from average leaders by going the extra mile and doing whatever it takes to be the best. Great leaders lead both by example and by what they say. When a member of a group or team is not giving their all or is feeling down, they need only look to the leader who is paving the way for them. Leaders like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson would stop at nothing to win, and did everything in their power to make sure that their team was prepared and focused on the task ahead.
