The Best Definition of Leadership. Ever.
A leader is someone who, grounded in hope, and together with followers, acts with courage to make an inauthentic situation AUTHENTIC.

Remind you of anyone?

2. I am not a big fan of Ralph Nader, but I think he had the best quote about leadership

Ralph Nader
I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.

I think Obama understands this. When he says "We are the ones we have been waiting for". He nails it!
