Richard Canfield argues that thinking about something doesn't automatically make you become it. He uses a provocative example to challenge the idea, then traces how leadership concepts from Carnegie's organization spread globally.

It's not entirely true that you can become whatever you think about all the time, because if it were really 100% true, then, you know, men would become women. That was a line that he would use every once in a while, one of his sessions. It was so much fun to be around him. And so I do think that there's this cool overlap. There's something about what's within the roots. It's kind of like what you indicated. What's the roots and the core of the Carnegie organization and how everything stems from these pioneering ideas. And then it's also a grassroots expansion of a leadership concept that's really, again, globally now, all over the place.
