Great Leaders

Joel Spolsky has a great article about Bill Gates, and being a great leader. It's not that long and definitely worth reading.
The main point is, to be a good and successful leader, you have to know what your company / department / ministry / whatever is doing. You must have passion about what you are doing. How many times have we seen unfit managers who have no clue what their sub-ordinates are doing?
