Leadership: JRD Tata’s take on it.
“If I have any merit, it is getting along with individuals, according to their ways and characteristics… at times it involves suppressing yourself. It is painful but necessary… to be a leader you have got to lead human beings with affection.”
-J.R.D. Tata (July 29 1904 – November 29, 1993)

I see so many so called "intelligent" leaders missing this simple point. Great organizations are built, slowly… with excellence achieved in every small process, everyday and by everyone. This can happen only when the most of your team members want – from within - to excel. On sustainable basis, this is possible only by the way JRD has explained above.
