Never said he was a strong leader. Simply addressed the content of the article. It is that simple.

If you want to talk about his leadership qualities, I would say they are negligible. He has not been through a series of crucibles that have honed and refined his leadership skills and made him into a man of character and determination. He is typical of our society where people are given faux accolades (he is an Ivy League graduate, et al) and somehow this equates to an individual being a great leader. No, what it equates to is that they are an Ivy League graduate. He seems often disinterested in the task of leadership, the nitty gritty of convincing people to perform tasks because they believe in his vision and leadership. He expects (in my view) that they will simply acquiesce in gratitude because he is so much brighter than they are (the quintessential elitist in my frank opinion).

As far as my own bona fides on leadership, will gladly outline them for you if you are so inclined. Mine are the final "three feet" variety where you cannot hide behind platitudes. You have to motivate people to get up and risk their lives.
