A true leader

Posted by Simon Baker

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone,
the courage to make tough decisions,

and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.

He does not set out to be a leader,
but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.

True agile leaders need to be able to manage meetings in an agile way.

I prefer to think that an agile leader facilitates a meeting rather than manages it. We're talking about the same effects and results though. Thanks for the link.
