It's very scary to me that people actually think we should just follow our leaders. If we can't learn from our history, we're nowhere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We should be wary of politicians who profess to follow history while only noticing those signposts of history that point in the direction which they themselves already favour.
To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't know where he is going.
Leaders play a unique role in periods of crisis and chaos. Because if you don't, you're not going to harness the power of all the people behind you.
We look to our leaders once we elect them to either lead us in the right direction or at least not crush us.
You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.
I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?
When you can't ask a question of your leaders anymore, that gets scary.
Unfortunately, we don't seem to learn from history, do we? And you'd think we would.
We are an age without leaders. We stopped having leaders at the end of the 20th century.
I think leadership is not something you learn; it's something you discover.
