In his book, The Dilbert Principle, Adams (1996) perhaps captured the frustration of defining leadership best when he writes, "Leadership is an intangible quality with no clear definitions. It goes promptly down hill from here. That's probably a good thing, because if people knew the definition, they would hunt down their leaders and kill them" (p. 287).

"The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between the two, the leader must become a servant and a debtor. That sums up the progress of an artful leader."
