Technical skills suffice to make a good administrator. Citizens reasonably judge a registrar of motor vehicles by the volume of forms signed and stamped. In higher offices they should demand more than competent clerks.
Leadership is more than the ability to wield a notary seal.
Similarly, there is a difference between leadership and the exercise of power. Organizations need people who can proffer carrots and sticks to make things happen, but a skillful enthusiasm for trading favors does not make a leader. Leadership begins with a belief in the possibility of a better society. With the example of his whole life, a real leader models the steadfastness necessary for progress. He confronts the most difficult realities without abandoning ideals.
