Summary

This quote suggests that the most crucial attribute a leader must possess is the recognition and acknowledgment of their position as a leader. If a leader's authority and capabilities are questioned, it indicates a lack of strength or influence. In other words, a leader's effectiveness is closely tied to how others perceive and accept their leadership role. To be an effective leader, one must clearly demonstrate their capacity to lead and gain the trust and respect of those they lead.

There are men so incorrigibly lazy that no inducement that you can offer will tempt them to work; so eaten up by vice that virtue is abhorrent to them, and so inveterately dishonest that theft is to them a master passion. When a human being has reached that stage, there is only one course that can be rationally pursued. Sorrowfully, but remorselessly, it must be recognized that he has become lunatic, morally demented, incapable of self-government, and that upon him, therefore, must be passed the sentence of permanent seclusion from a world in which he is not fit to be at large.

Friedrich Nietzsche
