won’t make it so; doing will” Peter. F. Drucker,

A leader is bestWhen people barely know he exists,

Worse when they despise him.But of a good leader, who talks little,
When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,They will say:
We did it ourselves

The mastery of a model is not a substitute for leadership.
In short, given the right context, every leadership theory or model
is the correct one.
