Lee's great gifts are teaching and inspirational guidance, not administration and management.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value.
Changes and progress very rarely are gifts from above. They come out of struggles from below.
I think one of the keys to leadership is recognizing that everybody has gifts and talents. A good leader will learn how to harness those gifts toward the same goal.
I'm not a great manager; I try to be a great leader. And for me, that's been going through a process of not how to be a great CEO but how to be a great Evan, and that's really been the challenge.
Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.
Being gifted needs courage.
You can teach all sorts of things that improve the practice of management with people who are managers. What you cannot do is teach management to somebody who is not a manager, the way you cannot teach surgery to somebody whose not a surgeon.
I don't believe that being an inspiring leader is a goal that you can aspire to. It is a by-product.
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
Obama, for all his brilliance, has no real, felt understanding of management structures or of business.
