meritocratic age where we think being smart is everything you know that s the best thing. you can be a super smart and you know, super credential them. a lot of this is about qualities other than intelligence. we are in, uh, you know, to your point , farida. i ve i was never the smartest guy in the room, so it was easy for me to write this book on leadership coming from that point of view, but what i found in the great leaders that i served for and i was fortunate to serve with a number of great leaders over my time in the military, and since then, it s really about the quality of the man or woman, your word that the character and the sense of integrity, the sense of trust. can you trust this leader? and that doesn t mean you have to be the smartest person in the room. but you have to listen to the rank and file. you have to be a servant leader in the sense that you know you want to make the team successful. if you think as a leader that it s all about you, then you re probably not the
