There are, though they are just almost never the people who's job it is to be a leader.

The worst of the worst are the "outstanding" leaders that just "did not get recognized" as such. Not even the worst part of the worst hell would be good fitting for that group.

All that being said, I agree with you: leadership is hard. In 20 years in industry, how many (really) good leaders have I met? Three maybe.

My original point is that the _role_ is a lot more interesting than what the article seems to suggest.
