7 I am willing to follow real leaders, who inspire and lead by example,
8 in the words of Ann Marie E. McSwain, Assistant Professor at Lincoln
9 University, “leadership is about capacity: the capacity of leaders to
10 listen and observe, to use their expertise as a starting point to
11 encourage dialogue between all levels of decision-making, to establish
12 processes and transparency in decision-making, to articulate their own
13 values and visions clearly but not impose them. Leadership is about
14 setting and not just reacting to agendas, identifying problems, and
15 initiating change that makes for substantial improvement rather than
16 managing change.” (quoted from
17 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadership)

19 You've just shown a striking lack of such leadership.
