Ralph Nader redefines true leadership from a position of authority to an act of multiplication. A leader who simply accumulates followers is building a personal kingdom. A leader who produces more leaders is building a legacy and multiplying their impact.

This approach is rooted in empowerment. It involves mentoring, teaching, delegating authority, and trusting others to lead. It's about instilling confidence and capability in those around you, so they can also think independently, take initiative, and inspire others.

This quote challenges us to assess our own leadership style. Are we hoarding power or distributing it? The most profound and lasting impact a leader can have is to create a culture of leadership, ensuring that the mission and its values continue to grow long after they are gone.
