3 When you truly understand, you know the real issues are, you’ll know what you need, and how to get what you need to fix them.

4 When in-depth thoughts and understanding transcend into wisdom, the good solution to a specific problem can be scaled and applied to other domains; the mindsets with a cognitive difference can be connected via empathy and the hearts can be touched via positive emotion flows.

To put it briefly, understanding and insight are leadership substance, and communication is the leadership style.
