Trouble can often be traced to a single strong individual — the stirrer, the arrogant underling, the poisoner of goodwill.

Neutralize their influence by isolating or banishing them. Strike at the source of the trouble and the sheep will scatter.
Leadership is the capacity to influence others through inspiration motivated by passion, generated by vision, produced by a conviction, ignited by a purpose.
