He stands behind the genius to empower him, through meticulous care for details – legality, authority, sustainability (corporate hygiene), thus making more space for impact. In the complex tapestry of organizational life, he is the weaver who, though he may not design the patterns, ensures they come together in harmony. He is the unsung hero, the power behind the throne, the one who turns the wheels and keeps the engine of the organization running smoothly. Without him, the genius would be a ship without a rudder, adrift in a sea of potential but unable to chart a course to the shores of impact.
