Why do we tend to think of leaders as being cheerleaders – loud, strong-willed, imposing figures?

Where a family works, the parents are constantly reassuring children of their ability to deal with life’s ups and downs and not protecting them from it.

A leader is one who succeeds by believing not cheerleading.
