Leadership is like Porn
Leadership is like Porn - It’s hard to define what it is, but you always know what it isn't

Leadership doesn't prevent all the votes from being counted
Leadership doesn't sit for 7 minutes after being told the Country is under attack
Leadership doesn't use a national tragedy for political gain
Leadership doesn't reduce taxes on the wealthy in times of war
Leadership doesn't deceive a country into supporting a war against a country that isn't an imminent threat
Leadership doesn't ignore the advice of professionals.
Leadership doesn't take offense at being criticized
Leadership doesn't view things as all black and white, or good versus evil
Leadership doesn't depend exclusively on faith, but on facts and judgment as well.
Leadership doesn't minimally plan for winning the peace.
Leadership doesn't declare "Mission Accomplished" prematurely
Leadership doesn't allow a decorated veteran be smeared by others for political gain
Leadership doesn't distort the votes of another for political gain
Leadership doesn't stick stubbornly to one way of thinking when the facts have changed

2. Basically leadership doesn't have to always call itself a leader.
Like porn doesn't have to remind you it's pornography. It let's its actions speak for itself. Or herself. or her and himself. Or her her and herself or her, him, and himself or what ever puts the or in porn.
