"The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet" - Theodore M. Hesburgh
"Lead and inspire people. Don’t try to manage and manipulate people. Inventories can be managed but people must be lead" - Ross Perot
Where there is no vision and strong leadership the people of an entire civilization may soon perish.
Why Singh is not King!
"While India needs tight governance with an iron hand sporting a velvet glove, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh can at best offer a feeble handshake, says Sanjay Jha.

United States President Barack Obama facing plummeting domestic approval ratings, dived southwards in the seawaters off the Florida coast in complete synchronicity with his falling popularity graph. It did not deter him from making a symbolic statement on the safety of sea waters off Miami's white sands following the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. When General Stanley McChrystal criticized the US administration on its Afghan efforts, he was swiftly replaced. On Iraq, he kept his promised departure date, ending former President George W Bush's blinkered and warped misadventure of GI-Joe hunting for WMDs. Obama also incurred the wrath of the conservative right for his determined correction of Wall Street salary excesses, which are naturally detested by pin-striped Armani suits with bloated heads. Obama may or not be re-elected depending upon America's penchant for chick-flick aspirants like Sarah Palin, but what he has sufficiently demonstrated is his ability to make up his own mind, even if occasionally contradictory, like the mosque controversy near Ground Zero in New York.
For all his faults though, Obama has a presidential personification. That is the basic minimum expectation from political leaders worldwide.

The prime minister of the world's fastest-growing, most populous democracy is no exception."
