Jammersix Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 There are major differences between power and authority. One hallmark of true leadership is when people follow you when you have no authority. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/01/25/warriors-skip-white-house-meet-with-former-president-barack-obama-instead/?utm_term=.e59a05f12899 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPM Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If you measure authority by number of followers, President Obama ranks just behind Katy Perry and Justin Bieber.

Just like Marion Barry being elected as Washington DC Mayor again after his stint in prison had nothing to do with him being black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
