Real Leadership
It is a very difficult to take on the role of a leader.One must crush all one's own self under the feet of the community.One must be a shade of jealousy or selfishness,then you are a leader.
the best leader,however, is one who "leads like the baby".The baby,though apparently depending on everyone,is the king of the household.
The difficulty is not in organization and making plans;the test,the real test,of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. A leader must accommodate a thousand minds.And this can only be done unconsciously,never by trying.
There is no allegiance possible where there is no character in the leader,and perfect purity ensures the most lasting allegiance and confidence.
He never becomes a leader in whose love there is a consideration of high or low.He whose love knows no end,and never stops to consider high or low,has the whole world lying at his feet.
What you call majority is mainly composed of fools men of common intellect.Men who have brains to think for themselves are few,everywhere.These few men with brains are the real leaders in everything and in every department of work.
