"We concluded that all great organizations have in common a caring, serving, humanistic purpose and that their leaders not only take care of their direct followers or related contituents, but that they want to leave the world a better place. We concluded that average leaders are "numbers driven", and de facto take care only of themselves. We stated that good leaders are "vision driven" and take care not only of themselves but also others. Our most important conclusion was that great leaders are "mission driven" and not only take care of themselves and others but also want to leave this world a little better.
