The distinction between leaders and administrators comes down to what the playwright Henrik Ibsen called «kongstanke» - the capital idea for what you want to achieve as a leader. Leadership does not come with the position of manager. Why do you want to be a leader? Here we can discern the vibration of the eternal question about leadership.

 

Their focus on «kongstanke», power and dignity is extremely useful – they are the best at this.
