Leadership Is an Art

In the end, it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be, by remaining what we are.

The art of leadership, as Max says, is “liberating people to do what is required of them in the most effective and humane way possible.” Thus, the leader is the “servant” of his followers in that he removes the obstacles that prevent them from doing their jobs.

Only a group of people who share a body of knowledge and continually learn together can stay vital and viable.

The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between the two, the leader must become a servant and a debtor. That sums up the progress of an artful leader. Concepts

A leader must be a judge of people. For leaders choose a person, not a position.
