A LEADERSHIP RIDDLE

Six lizards sat on lazing in the sun on the wall, when their leader decided to jump off into the shade.  How many lizards were there then?

 

 

5?

You might say the answer is five?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0?

Or none…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1, 2, 3 or 4?

or any number between 0 and 5?  (Depending on how many lizards followed their leader)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or 6!

But look more closely: you can maybe see the answer is six?  Why? Because the story only says one lizard decided to jump off. It doesn’t tell us he actually jumped.
Leadership isn’t just deciding what to do at a meeting, it’s actually making it happen?
