We are an age without leaders. We stopped having leaders at the end of the 20th century.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the past a leader was a boss. Today's leaders must be partners with their people... they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.
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.
Grown men do not need leaders.
We need leadership. We don't need a doubling down on the failed politics of the past.
Only a few good leaders have paused to reflect seriously on being leaders.
Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
I think that there is never an indispensable leader, you know? I think that there is a time with dignity that one needs to leave.
If we are to negotiate the coming years safely, we may need a new kind of leadership. To put it more precisely, we need the rediscovery of an ancient kind of leadership that has rarely been given the prominence it deserves. I mean the leader as teacher.
The young very seldom lead anything in our country today. It's been quite some time since a younger generation pushed an older one to a higher standard.
I'm sad to report that in the past few years, ever since uncertainty became our insistent 21st century companion, leadership has taken a great leap backwards to the familiar territory of command and control.
