RE: Re: Do C-Level managers, and business drivers really need to know about XP?

Here's a quote from another book we use "On becoming a Leader," Warren
Bennis...

As we survey the path leadership theory has taken, we spot the wreckage
of "trait theory," the "great man" theory, and the "situationist"
critique, leadership styles, functional leadership, and finally
leaderless leadership, to say nothing of bureaucratic leadership,
charismatic leadership, group-centered leadership, reality-centered
leadership, leadership by objective, and so on. The dialectic and
reversals of emphases in the area very nearly rival the tortuous twists
and turns of child-rearing practices, and one can paraphrase Gertrude
Stein by saying, "a leader is a follower is a leader."

- Administrative Science Quarterly

So Joseph Campbell might well have found this amusing...
