There's no list of skills you have to have to sit in that chair.

Shiv Khera

There are good leaders who actively guide and bad leaders who actively misguide. Hence, leadership is about persuasion, presentation and people skills.

Gregory Maguire

She assumes that skill will guide her fingertips, that shapely lines will uncoil out of the pencil the moment she starts.
