“It is not the business of the botanist to eradicate the weeds. Enough for him if he can tell us just how fast they grow in” said a wise man once
That's right.. The job of the experts ends mostly where they declare the reasons for the mess
But this is not the case for leadership
The role of leadership generally begins from where the role of the experts ends
The leadership has to clear the mess and see that institutional processes are set in motion so that such mess are not created again.
Leaders need not be experts of material things. It is enough of him to understand what the experts are advising

That's the crux of leadership
