A good
leader needs to have a compass in his head and a bar
of steel in his heart.
-- Robert Townsend
American Businessman,
President of Avis
I
learned that a great leader is a man who has the
ability to get other people to do what they don't
want to do and like it.
-- Harry S. Truman
1884-1972,
Thirty-third President of the USA
I am a
leader by default, only because nature does not
allow a vacuum.
-- Bishop Desmond
Tutu
1931-, South African
Prelate
People
try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully
hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or
politician or soldier or writer or philosopher --a
Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche,
than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away.
My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days.
It's the surest path to obscurity. People get sick
of hearing the same name over and over.
