Summary

This quote suggests that in order to effectively supervise or lead others, one must adopt either a superior or disdainful attitude towards them. By surpassing others in their accomplishments, a supervisor can gain respect and authority, inspiring those they lead. Alternatively, despising others implies a condescending attitude, where the supervisor believes they are inherently better or more capable than their subordinates. However, it is important to note that this quote may be seen as divisive and overlooks the importance of empathy, collaboration, and fostering positive relationships in leadership roles.

It was at a conference in Cyprus in 1976, where the theme was the rights of small nations, that I first met Edward Said. It was impossible not to be captivated by him: of his many immediately seductive qualities I will start by mentioning a very important one. When he laughed, it was as if he was surrendering unconditionally to some guilty pleasure. At first the very picture of professorial rectitude, with faultless tweeds, cravats, and other accoutrements (the pipe also being to the fore), he would react to a risquÃ© remark, or a disclosure of something vaguely scandalous, as if a whole Trojan horse of mirth had been smuggled into his interior and suddenly disgorged its contents. The build-up, in other words, was worth one's effort.
