Shared leadership (the dream and the trust)

"Who built the town of Thebes of Seven Gates?
The names of kings are written in the books.
Was it the kings who dragged the slabs of rock?
And Babylon, so many times destroyed,
Who built her up again so many times?"

"Young Alexander conquered India.
All by himself?
Caesar beat the Gauls.
Not even a cook to help him with his meals?
Philip of Spain wept when his Armada
Went down. Did no one else weep?
Frederick the Great won the Seven Years War.
Who else was the winner?"
