null The fantasy of strong leadership

The cry goes up, "what we need is strong leadership" but what does strong leadership look like?  We have had charismatic leaders in the past and they certainly inspire people but they also view dissent as personal disloyalty, have a tendency to close down debate rather than open it up and impose rather than negotiate change.
