Barnard lists five qualities of leaders: vitality and endurance, decisiveness, persuasiveness, responsibility, and intellectual capacity. He then singles out two responsibility and intellectual capacity for special attention. The focus on intellectual capacity is interesting because Barnard purposely relegates it to fifth place on his list of qualities. Barnard apparently has fairly low regard for intellectuals, who he alleges, tend to be irresponsible (that is, absent minded and nonpunctual), nondecisive, and nonpersuasive (that is, a little "queer' and not interested in people). in short, intellectual preparation tends to inhibit the development of the very qualities deemed indispensable to leadership. Consequently, Barnard argues that leaders are more found than trained. As for the education of leaders, it should be general in natural and aimed at teaching the individual how further to educate himself. Education should also convey an understanding of human relations, an appreciation of nonlogical behavior, and an appreciation of formal organizations as evolving organic systems.
