Mirror'd

In good things and in bad ones too, when you admire or despise another person, you are probably looking at your own image in the other person's face ... as in a mirror.

Education

People with an education usually perform better than people without an education.

People who have gone through college usually understand the scientific method, which is the basis for all modern management.
This means they understand the basics of statistical process control and DOE, they have the analytical skills to find root causes for problems, and they can make creative intuitive leaps to understand what makes things (or people) tick, and make them tick better.

People who go through a Master's degree, usually learn how to establish objectives, how to do research for raw data, how to cook it into information, and how to turn it into knowledge. They should also learn how to speak their mind, and how to write it too.

Leaders need all of the above, and also the skill to turn knowledge into wisdom ... but I don't think you can get that in a school program.
