I Presuppose...
“Leadership presupposes two things:‐‐ A leader, and men capable of being led. A stag cannot lead an army of lions; a lion cannot persuade an army of stags to follow. What then is required? A lion leading lions. In other words, the qualities of leader and led are very similar.
The chief of these qualities are:‐‐
(1) Knowledge.
(2) Skill.
(3) Determination.
(4) Endurance.
(5) Courage.
(6) Cunning.
(7) Imagination.
(8) Confidence.
No one is greater than the other, but the first of all is knowledge.”
