To define leadership without including the traits of a leader is a difficult task. Can these traits and the leaders who exhibit them be part of the definition? ~Jessica
"No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings."
