Leading Quietly Joseph L. Badaracco, Jr. Leading quietly questions the popularly and readily accepted notions such as leaders are visible, they make the tough choice, they have charisma, they dominate the landscape while shaking the ground and they lead from the front. All of these notions about leaders are put to the test. The author builds upon the theories of many philosophers and visionaries such as Aristotle and Albert Schweitzers views that leaders and leadership is not about individuals and their charisma or their being right and vocal about it. The author opines that leadership is not always visible it can be discreet and hidden in the everydayness of the tasks. Leaders are the ones which keep the machinery of this world going, they deal with complex problems every day; they solve these problems by developing rational and sustainable solutions.
