Leaders are sailors willing to climb the bridge when the keel of the ship capsizes, the waves rise like mountains and no port is visible. The leader expands the field of the possible and traces a route that before existed in his imagination.
Leaders are not messiahs, but ambitious realists. They do not recognize the jurisdiction of common opinion, but if they propose a different ideal it is because they know it is achievable. The weakest point of this very interesting book is the inclusion of Nixon.
