    I enjoyed this page of quotes and I'll come back again. Especially enjoyed this one near the top of your lens: "I don't know what leadership is. You can't touch it. You can't feel it. It's not tangible. But I do know this: you recognize it when you see it." I think he was talking about leadership presence.
