People who are leaders energize other people. Sometimes this stimulates conflict and causes debate. Sometimes it creates dissension and difficulty and occasionally a gastric ulcer. Officeholders usually hate all that. They prefer to manipulate groups rather than energize them.
Energetic groups are more difficult to deal with.
Officeholders love to take credit for the achievement, but they usually try to disassociate themselves from mistakes and failures by looking for a scapegoat. Leadership cannot be legislated. Most often it is not delegated. Nor is leadership achieved by denying opportunities to other people. Leadership is circumstantial and it belongs to those who can wade into circumstances, with clear vision, energy, courage, and integrity, and grasp from circumstances the opportunity to achieve.
