Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Columbia University Quarterly "To be great, you must be teachable, ready to learn, willing to take good advice, and wise enough to know where to go for the advice; then have tremendous courage, great perseverance, and that absolute self-forgetfulness that makes the followers of a great leader think not so much of the leader as of the cause." It were hard to find words more characteristic of the personality of Seth Low than these spoken by him in eulogy of a co-worker. They put tersely what to him was essential in forwarding great undertakings. Not wealth, though he had it in abundance; not family, though he had a rich inheritance; not power, though it was often at his disposal; but the teachableness of the child, the wisdom of the sage, the zeal of the reformer, and the devotion of the disciple were his measures of leadership. The happy blending of such distinct - too often disparate - qualities made him a leader of men. The genius of Seth Low was not that of the prophet. He assumed no esoteric wisdom, he claimed no insight denied to his fellows, he acknowledged no guidance inaccessible to others. Nor did he spend time or substance on lamentation. The world might be out of joint, but he rejoiced in the opportunity to do his part in setting it right. Situations appealed to him as problems to be solved. To grasp the problem, one must resolve it into its component factors, evaluate their relative importance, and proceed logically to the conclusion. His method of work, therefore, called for investigation, research, and the weighing of evidence; the conclusions he reached were the fruitage of intellectual honesty.
