In an interview, Sir Edmund Hillary, who was the first to climb Mount Everest, commented on one of the central qualities of a leader: “There are some people who are natural leaders, who have the ability to think quickly or choose the right decisions at the right moment. But I think there are an awful lot of us who have to learn how to be a leader, and in actual fact, I believe that most people, if they really want to, can become competent leaders.”
