tzu, Lao-tzu, Sun-tzu Early Eurpopean writers such as

A leader is bestWhen people barely know he exists,

Not so good when people obey and acclaim him,

Worse when they despise him.But of a good leader, who talks little,

When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,They will say:

We did it ourselves

Lao-Tzu, 6th century Chinese philosopher

The mastery of a model is not a substitute for leadership.

In short, given the right context, every leadership theory or model

is the correct one.
