Leadership: The evasiveness of definition and understanding

 Maybe clickbait, but it got me:  https://getpocket.com/explore/item/7-brutal-truths-about-leadership-not-too-many-people-want-to-hear?utm_source=pocket-newtab  Valid principles, but so, so simplified. Maybe simplistic. Leadership is complicated, situational, multi-layered. We've been trying to figure it out for maybe 4000 years. We'll keep trying. These seven principles are a more "affective" approach. By that I mean these principles are concerned about the emotional, person-centered, perhaps collaborative rather than the intellectual or "power" side of the equation.  I won't say feminine; I do not want to add to lend credence to the mythology that woman or "female" means weak, emotional, deferential, or as is more popular today, more people-centered, better listening, and more facilitation of the group.
