I like the image (not sure whose it is) of a leaders' job being to clear the way for other people to succeed. There's a selflessness in that Welch alludes to. He says 'growing'. Sometimes it feels to me that it's 'growing up'. /df Adrian,

However, when it comes to business I think a large part of stress creation comes from poor management and leadership. I think Jack Welch said it best when he said "Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others" and I am not sure that is the case in many organisations and thus can be a large contributor to stress levels. Do you agree?
