“A good leader is one who knows how to back

off and listen. A good leader gets it, but doesn’t flaunt it. A good leader is

only good because someone is following

him/her. A good leader is respected not for his/her leadership, but for being honest and trustworthy. A

good leader is, well, a good leader!”
