This rhetoric goes on to proclaim the great deeds of the leadership and how rosy they view the future of the profession. Leadership finds solutions. Leadership recruits and excites its membership in good times and bad. Leadership forms a vision for the present of the future of chiropractic and makes certain that this vision is communicated to everyone. Leadership, more than anything else, instills confidence about the future.
Leadership represents a cross-section of interests from every member of the profession.
Frankly, given the recent history of so-called leaders within the profession, one cannot hope for great changes. So far, no one has surfaced with the charisma, strength and vision to proclaim leadership of the entire profession. Oh sure, there are lots of little leaders running around their corners of the profession, and for them we are somewhat thankful. Unfortunately, their interests are often too specialized to suit the everyday needs of the field doctor. Again, the question remains.
