A good leader sets the direction/destination, and relies on the wisdom/experience of his team to figure out the best way to get there.

The worst thing for a leader to do in any organization is to waver on direction. People will follow a passionate leader who says- here is where I am going come follow me. They are running to something.

look at most political races, the winner is usually the one setting a direction and not wavering regardless of attack. The one say "I am for this". The losers are usually the ones say- "They are wrong" One is leadership, the other is Monday morning quarterbacking.

So if you want to lead, set off in a direction, if no one is following, start working on your leadership skills.
