Leadership Turn

Attack as a leadership tool

As I’ve written in the past, I don’t see politicians as leaders, in fact, I find the two terms oxymoronic.

In the final debate, what do Clinton’s constant attacks say about her confidence and willingness to do anything to win?

What does Obama’s lack of retaliation say? Should he have retaliated in kind?

What do you think?

    You don’t view politicians as LEADERS? Then, what else are they if they tell us their vision and lay a path of guidance to show how we’re going to get there? Now maybe they’re not GOOD paths, but paths they are nontheless.
