"What are Leaders?"
John O. Andersen
"Leaders are not what many people think--people with huge crowds following
them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even
looking to see if anyone is following them. 'Leadership qualities' are not
the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable
them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage,
endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, determination, a
keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head even
when things are going badly."--John Holt, from "Teach Your Own," pg. 68.
