I agree the article is simplistic.

> "leaders" (the top brass - founders, etc)

They said their definition of leader wasn't about job titles or org charts.

Well, if you define leaders as people who do the things outlined in the article, then sure, it tautologically describes the traits of leaders. But then, it means that Steve Jobs wasn't a leader, Bill Gates wasn't a leader, Jeff Bezos isn't a leader - basically, none of the most successful business-builders qualify. Apparently, they were all just managers.

So then, who is the article about? And more to the point, if it's not a recipe for success, why should I follow its advice?
