Could you say with 100% sure that if one person follow all these steps or dispositions that you wrote he will be a good leader? If somebody asked me that I would say that it depends on the person. What are we trying to find the right actions or the person? The point is we know what to do. We know all the dispositions to be followed, but we do not know a way to find who can do that? During my life I could see many people following all the steps or formulas to be a leader and failed. It made me think that I needed to figure out this thing, at that time. Maslow wrote 36 points to become a leader and most of them were not formulas but thoughts and I found them very interesting. I cannot say that I am a good Engineer because I build on the right time, costs and quality. These are my obligations. I cannot say that I am a good Leader because I follow all the dispositions. These are the Leaderīs obligations. I understand that the problems must be solved and the projects must continue and if we cannot find the right person let us teach others to behave like a leader at least! Life goes on! Hal
