"I don't know what leadership is. You can't touch it. You can't feel it. It's not tangible. But I do know this: you recognize it when you see it"

About this Quote

He acknowledges that it is not something that can be physically experienced or measured, but rather something that is intangible. Despite this, he believes that true management is identifiable when it is present.

It is a quality that is felt and observed, instead of specified by concrete attributes.
