Abstract
In this chapter, we will first explain the criteria that were used to identify leadership success among the leaders we interviewed for this book. We will discuss the factors that influenced the careers of those leaders and managers; in other words, what ingredients were necessary for their success. Examples of their accomplishments will be presented, as well as examples of the events, people and other factors that influenced them.
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
—Chinese proverb
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
—John Quincy Adams
