"One thing you'll notice about leaders who execute is that they speak simply and directly. They talk plainly and forthrightly about what's on their minds. They know how to simplify things so that others can understand them, evaluate them, and act on them, so that what they say becomes common sense."

Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan in "Execution - The Discipline of Getting Things Done".

"Insecure managers create complexity. Frightened, nervous managers use thick, convoluted planning books and busy slides filled with everything they have known since childhood. Real leaders don't need clutter. People must have the self-confidence to be clear, precise, to be sure that every person in the organization - highest to lowest - understands what the business is trying to achieve. But it's not easy. You can't believe how hard it is for people to be simple, how much they fear being simple. They worry that if they're simple, people will think they are simple minded. In reality, of course, it's just the reverse. Clear, tough-minded people are the most simple."

Jack Welch in "Winning"
