Leadership speaks first; and upon looking over its shoulder, sees that it said what everyone was thinking but lacked the courage to say.

Power speaks last; consolidating the emotion of the people after it identifies it.

Leadership is only required when change is necessary; in most times, it is merely a front for consolidating power.

Power is averse to risk but creates the illusion of it.

True leadership takes risks that are not always apparent.
