Leadership - A discussion of traits, characteristics, and current news of leaders.

“Leaders & Revolutionaries” spanned politics, religion, and business. Some of these people I have noted in posts on Leadernotes. Some of those listed surprised me. Most inspired me. Some disgusted me.

I did not separate Leaders from Revolutionaries – they often cross. The definition of a revolutionist is a radical supporter of political or social revolution. Certainly there are a few revolutionaries included below.  For good or bad, peace or war, love or hate, they influence millions.

The Time article for each person was often written by a contemporary rather than Time staff. Those listed as “Leaders & Revolutionaries” included
