First sentence: If in the 1950s you asked a corporate CEO for a definition of leadership, you might have heard a middle-aged, white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant male say, "It's about building commitment to business objectives, having personal convictions and self-confidence as a leader, communicating your goals and expectations to employees, controlling the bottom-line expenses of the company, and dealing mortal body blows to your competition in the marketplace."
