From the Paper:

"Business leadership is both a science and an art. Yes, there are successful executives who just seem to be born with the knack, just as there are painters who seem to have been born with a brush in their hand, and great musicians who were composing before they could walk. But, we can't all be Mozarts, most of us must observe, study, and practice the techniques of success. Business is a skill, and like any other skill, its secrets can be learned. First off, however, we must take a look at what exactly constitutes this elusive concept we call "leadership." What exactly is a leader?"
