For me, this piece is more about how to choose a leader than how to be one. And we should be particularly suspicious of a candidate for the leadership who proclaims his own virtue.
Thanks for this piece, Massimo. Good luck with Churchill. If I had to add to the extensive commentary on him, it would be to note his exceptional oratory. He excelled at this imho, despite many seeming shortcomings in other domains and initial disadvantages in presentation and his own self-doubt. All the best, John.
