The leader's job is to lead and protect. Not have all the answers, not know everything to do, not to micromanage and tell people what to do or how to do it. A leader's job is to lead and protect. That's their job, and it's the people within the organization - their job is to get the work done.

Or, I didn't believe the things you actually talked about would work. I'm here to tell you that you converted me. That happens a lot.
