Observation on Leadership

Regarding the rumored new president of Harvard, an observation on what it takes to be successful:

"“Complex institutions need wise leaders with vision who can inspire collaboration for change,” said Dr. Gutmann, who had said repeatedly that she intended to remain at Penn. “And Drew has all that it takes to be such a leader. She has a strong backbone and sense and sensibility.”"

Quite a checklist:
-wisdom
-vision
-inspirational
-collaborative
-change
-backbone
-sensible
