Actually, I do not know what to think. Initially, I wondered how this topic would benefit those in the Community. The administrators, moderators and chat leaders have leadership roles. The rest of us primarily are supporters and responders to questions that are posed.
Leadership is an interesting topic. Whether or not the leaders were consciously aware of it, psychology and philosophy always has played a role. Much has been written about what many believe to be the failure of leadership in the U.S.
The National Leadership Index for 2009 from the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government is now out:

Despite an increase in confidence, I remain deeply disappointed and have told leaders so. From that perspective, if you are able to pique our interest by using psychology and philosophy as a means to enhance leadership skills, we all will benefit.
