Evaluating leadership info

Reviewing The Offsite Thursday and sharing the Lao Tzu quotes drove home the point that the best leadership advice is classic. Because it’s been around for so long each generation of leadership gurus and commentators usually discuss previous teachings in different ways using modern language.
As with most MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™) related stuff, leadership information starts out simple (the best things usually are), and as it spreads it’s rewritten and reinterpreted to give it a fresh look and originality.
The problem is that this often adds density and opacity, since many pundits prefer multi-syllabic words and convoluted descriptions that require expert interpretation that result in consulting/coaching fees.
Look at the simplicity, ease of understanding and sheer beauty of yesterday’s three quotes describing leadership; feel how they resonate within your very fiber; then use them as a yardstick to measure the quality of modern texts.
Whose leadership description resonates with you?
