LMy first new discovery about the concept of leadership is simple, yet profound; it's straightforward yet far-reaching. Have you ever observed the extent of complications most leaders surround themselves with? The lives of many just take a dramatic turn from being simple to being complex once they assume a position of responsibility.
The truth, however, is that LEADERSHIP is not COMPLICATED. In fact, the less complicated a leader is, the more of a true leader he/she is.
The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on. The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully
