4. Thesis of Kouzes & Posner
“ The results of our research have been striking
both in their refutation of the leader stereotype
and in their consistency. Leaders do exhibit
certain distinct practices when they’re doing their
best. And this behavior varies little from industry
to industry, profession to profession, community
to community, country to country. Good
leadership is an understandable and a universal
process” (p. xxiii).

29. Constantly Seeking Ways to Improve
“ Leadership has about it a kinesthetic feel, a
sense of movement. Leaders ‘go first.’ They’re
pioneers. They begin the quest for a new order.
They venture into unexplored territory and guide
us to new and unfamiliar destinations.”
‒ Kouzes & Posner, p. 36

31. Stimulating Intrinsic Motivation
“ Intrinsic motivation is the impulse to accomplish
a task that emanates from the satisfaction that is
inherent in the task itself--as opposed to
motivation through external rewards and
punishments.”
‒ Thomas & Velthouse, 1990

33. The Paradox of Routines
“ Routine work drives out nonroutine work and
smothers to death all creative planning, all
fundamental change.”
‒ Warren Bennis
PM450SLeadership Principles 33
34. The Paradox of Routines
“ Leaders must . . . destroy routines because
routines get us into ruts, dull our senses, stifle
our creativity, constrict our thinking, remove us
from stimulation, and destroy our ability to
compete. Once-useful routines sap the vitality
out of an organization and cause it to atrophy.
Yet some routines are essential to a definable,
consistent, measurable, and efficient operation.”
‒ Kouzes & Posner, p. 44
PM450SLeadership Principles 34
35. Maintaining an Outward Focus
“ When we take our eyes off the external realities,
turning inward to admire the beauty of our own
organization, we may be swept away by the
swirling waters of change.”
‒ Kouzes & Posner, p. 47
