True Leaders...Great Leaders

"True leaders are not, as we are often led to think, just people with huge crowds eagerly following them.  True leaders are quite often people who go their own way without obsessing - or even looking to see, for that matter - whether anyone is following them at all.  Leadership qualities are not just the qualities that enable people to attract lots of followers, but often are those that enable others to do wonderfully well without them. 

Follow up:

They include - at the very least - courage, endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, humility, resourcefulness, relentlessness, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head, even when things are going very badly.  True leaders, in short, do not turn people into blind, dependent followers, but into more capable leaders themselves.  True leaders, quite ironically, help others grow stronger and be much less needy of great leaders."  John Holt
