• There is no one correct way to lead, and talented leaders come in many personality types. They are loud or quiet, funny or severe, tough or gentle, boisterous or shy. They come from all ages, any race, both sexes, and every kind of group there is.
• Publilius Syrus, the Roman playwright, recognized this fact of human nature two thousand years ago. “We are interested in others when they are interested in us,” Syrus wrote.

• But a strong leader is often needed to focus all that energy—to clarify the vision, to establish goals, to help everyone understand what the team is about, to show the team members how their accomplishments will impact upon the outside world. Ray
