By pointing out that numbers do make a valid point about the leadership, it alone does not tantamount to a perfect leadership, author drives it a point that those who are behind numbers all the time may not be the true leader. He also points about subtly that, a Leader is mature enough to pass on that baton to the others, when the time arrives. Have we not seen this in many instances? Author says that though this is the most underrated one, but an essential character of a leader. He doesn’t believe in leaders being born but can be taught and trained - as they say “Training makes a man, perfect”.
