I believe it will benefit people in the community to understand more about leadership. First, we must inculcate leadership in ourselves. What does this mean, we can discuss in some detail. Then there will be some in the community that will choose to be leaders of others. We may want to understand the psychology of leadership. How should leaders behave ? What are the elements of leadership ?

The administrators, moderators and chat leaders have leadership roles. The rest of us primarily are supporters and responders to questions that are posed.

You have a very humble view of your role. Why don't you have a leadership role, just as the mods and chat leaders have ? Supportiveness is a great trait, it does not detract from leadership.

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:

Very nice link, I will take a closer look when I have more time. The JFK Center is a world class place, so you have found a great resource here.

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.

I think you might be talking about our national leadership. I am still optimistic there, but that is not the focus of my question. I am referring more to leadership which comes from within.
I will try to pique your interest in the psychology and philosophy of leadership.
