“People are self-managing -- they don't need to be
managed. Once they know what they need to do, they'll go
figure out how to do it.
What they need is a common vision.
And that's what leadership is: [h]aving a vision; being able to
articulate that so the people around you can understand it;
and getting a consensus on a common vision.”
– Steve Jobs
