"Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers ... they offer a solution everybody
can understand. (Leaders) articulate vivid, overarching goals and values; their visions
and priorities are lean and compelling; their decisions are crisp and clear. The result: clarity of purpose, credibility of leadership and integrity in organization."General Colin Powell, A Leadership Primer, January 2002
