OWNER'S LITERATURE
PENALTY
OF
LEADERSHIP
I
N
every field of human endeavor,
he
that is first must perpetually live
in
the
white light of publicity. ?Whether the leadership be vested
in a man
or
in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at
work. TIn art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the
punishment are always the same. TThe reward is widespread recog-
nition; the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. TWhen a man’s
work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes a target
for the shafts of the envious few. ?If his work be merely mediocre,
he
will be left severely alone
-
if he achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million
tongues a-wagging. vealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at
the artist who produces
a
commonplace painting. VWhatsoever you
write,
or
paint,
or
play,
or
sing,
or
build, no one will strive to surpass,
or
to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius.
TLong, long after a great work
or
a good work has been done, those who
are disappointed
or
envious continue to cry out that it can not be done.
?Spiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised against
our
own
Whistler
as
a mountebank, long after
the
big world had acclaimed him
its greatest artistic genius. ?Multitudes flocked to Bayreuth to worship
at the musical shrine of Wagner, whiIe
the
little group of those whom
he
had dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he
was
no musician at
all. TThe little world continued to protest
that
hlton could never
build a steamboat, while the big world flocked to
the
river banks to
see
his boat steam
by.
YThe leader is assailed because he is a leader, and
the effort to equal him is merely added proof
of
that leadership. qFailing
to equal
or
to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy
-
but
only confirms once more
the
superiority of that which
he
strives to
supplant. TThere is nothing new in this. TIt is
as
old as the world
and as old as the human passions
-
envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the
desire to surpass. TAnd it
all
avails nothing. TIf the leader truly
leads, he remains
-
the leader. TMasteppoet, masteppainter, master
workman, each in his turn is assailed,.and each holds his laurels through
the ages. TThat which is good
or
great makes itself known, no matter
how loud the clamor of denial. TThat which deserves to live-lives.

Henry
M.
Leland, known as the
master of precision, initiated his pre-
cision manufacturing techniques at
the founding of Cadillac
in 1902.
His
exacting
standards prompted the
motto
by
which Cadillac
has been guided over the
years

lighting and ignition
system.

the only
American manufacturer
to win this honor and the

Standardization opened the eyes of
the industrial world and was the cor-
ner-stone of modern
production. From this achievement
evolved the reference to Cadillac as
“Standard of the World.”
In
1909
Cadillac was purchased
by
the then new General Motors
Corporation. Convenience, clean-
liness and all-weather comfort were
greatly enhanced in
1910
when Cad-
illac became the first manufacturer
to offer closed bodies as standard
equipment.

It
is widely regarded as
one
of
the finest documents ever

the introduction of the first produc-

engine. The
V8

The crisp, contemporary lines of the

new era in styling.
During World War

shortly
after Pearl Harbor, Cadillac discon-
tinued car production for the first
time since
1902
in order to construct
light
tanks, combat vehicles and
internal parts for Allison

Analog Electronic Fuel Injec-

1975
Cadillacs
and was standard on the new inter-
national size 1976 Seville. In
1978,
the Trip Computer option incor-
porated an on-board microprocessor.
This rich tradition continues
into the
‘90s
as
Cadillac
became the
first automobile manufacturer to be
awarded the prestigious Malcolm
