I went back to some of the lectures I took during a leadership course at university, and I chose some aspects regarding leadership and leaders:

Ronald Heifetz (1994) provides a challenge: “imagine the difference in behavior when people operate with the idea that leadership means influencing the community to follow the leader’s vision versus “leadership means influencing the community to face its problems”.

Last night the occupation forces declared a unileteral cease-fire leaving their troops in Gaza, saying that if Hamas lunched any rockets the response will be aggressive! What do they call the actions that took place during the last 3 weeks! What about Olmert claiming to have empathy with Gaza citizens!

One of the incidents that I was told took place in a school, where the teacher was asking the students: do you see me? Yes! Then I exist. Do you see the window? Yes! Then the window exists. So one of the students said do you see the teacher's brain? NO! Then ...

Did you know that in 1980, the United States provided encouragement, weapons, satellite, and funding for late president Saddam’s invasion of Iran? Did you know that president Saddam never attacked the United States, nor even threatened to do so?
The war against Iraq is a demonstration for the U.S. administration’s terrorism. But the question is, if the war was targeted because of president Saddam’s hunger for WMDs, why Iraq?
