Sculpture's are not created by constantly adding material in hopes of creating a work of art but rather by removing material. Like carving a sculpture the strategy is to carve away material that is useless, and which hides truth, to reveal your vision which lies beneath. Through the process of carving away over complicated theories in leadership you can help identify, simplify and refine your leadership style which enhances your effectiveness and abilities.
