Ninth Hokage

"A leader must have the courage to act against an expert's advice. Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things. Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it. In leadership writ large, mutually agreed upon purposes help people achieve consensus, assume responsibility, work for the common good, and build community. If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."

- The Ninth Hokage
