Leadership Means Being There

LCol Hawn, of Strong and Free has an excellent commentary on leadership and the Prime Minister's vacation on the beaches of Morocco in a time of crisis. I agree with his view of leadership. There is no substitute for a leader's physical presence in a time of crisis. Mr. Martin may be in overdrive on his Captain Damagecontrol bit now, but he failed as a leader during the first week of the tsunami tragedy. Most Canadians instinctively know this to be true.
