Q. What does the word “leadership” mean to you? A. My association with leadership is not very positive, really. The first thing I think of — sadly, I might add — is the whole motivational speaker phenomenon, where people are made to feel better about themselves and to turn into leaders, which means to give them self confidence, right? In that way, it’s really connected to the self-esteem craze, which I think has infiltrated teaching and had a terrible effect on it. The great writer Wilfrid Sheed said that when he was growing up, low self-esteem had another name. It was called “humility.” It was actually a virtue and not a psychological impairment... Leadership to me suggests that there’s a place to lead the person to.
