While Paul works for IBM and Ed works for HP as consulting enterprise information security professionals, we are probably not YOUR consulting enterprise
information security professionals. Your mileage may vary. The brilliant ideas and keen insights we provide are ours and ours alone. They do not necessarily
reflect anything with which our employers may want to be associated.

Quick Quiz #2 - Spot the Leader
Leadership: What is it?
“My definition of a leader
. . . is a man who can
persuade people to do
what they don’t want to
do, or do what they’re
too lazy to do, and like
it.”
— Harry S. Truman,
1884-1972, Thirty-third
President of the United
States, Miller, More Plain
Speaking
Leadership
"Leadership is the ability
of a superior to influence
the behavior of a
subordinate or group and
persuade them to follow
a particular course of
action.”
- Chester Barnard
Leadership
Leadership is the art of leading others to deliberately create a result
unlikely otherwise.
Leadership
Leadership is having a vision you passionately believe in
and communicating it in such a way as to intoxicate
people with your passion.
Leadership
There is no job title, business card, or magic incantation which makes
you a leader. It is something you earn, something others recognize in
you and respect.
Another quote
Management is doing things right; Leadership is doing the right things.
- Peter Drucker
Leadership: Nature or Nurture?
• Is it something you’re born with or can you learn leadership?
Leadership: What tools?
