Leadership is all about embedding the capacity for **greatness** in people and organizations. Leadership that is decoupled from the personality of the leader, without giving orders and instead describing **intent**, inspires greatness in others. The leader’s job is then only to check the followers’ own suggestions for **competence** and **clarity**. You do that by moving authority to where the information is and giving control: Describe the Why (problems) and the What (incl. freedoms and constraints), without addressing the How (solutions). As a leader, it is not your job to find solutions, instead it is your mission to describe problems and provide guardrails and support for your followers to solve those problems - which is their job. - Ref.: [Greatness video by David Marquet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqmdLcyES_Q) - Ref.: [David Marquet's homepage](https://davidmarquet.com/) - Book: L.
