There is actually a surplus of highly intelligent people. If you are hoping that your son will enjoy a material success do not be too optimistic if he merely gets high marks in school. He must combine scholarship with leadership. The reason many people of superior intelligence make poor leaders is that they are so conscious of their superiority that they let it show. They are upset by the slowness of other minds, become irritable and are therefore replaced by inferior people who have the knack of making people like them and follow them.
Teamwork is so essential in all areas that success is dependent on it.
Those who have the faculty of inducing others to obey their will are promoted to top rank, becoming the boss of smarter people. These are simple thoughts and have not changed in centuries. There is nothing new today in the field of leadership. All those who would be in charge must be leaders. All those who would pretend to be leaders are usually betrayed by their own nature.
