I truly believe that leadership not only involves charisma, but also passion, steadfastness, values, beliefs, knowledge and most importantly character. Influencing people to think or act a certain way may be a trait, but never a means to an end. A true leader with these core values knows equally the importance of motivating and believing in the mundane duties so then more prodigious decisions, ones where life and death are pontificated, can seem more routine. It is about belief in what you do, that you are doing it for a greater, germane cause and are teaching others.

Is leadership innate or developed? Are we a product of nature or nurture? Often times an ordinary person put into an extraordinary situation can surmise and complete something of extraordinary status. But the true test of a leader and the situations that arrive in their life is a time-tested, developed / rationale decision frame-work to confront problems--that really are challenges—that lie ahead.

In response to your question, should the government continue its laissez-faire approach? The answer is not that it is a laissez-faire approach, rather a politically entrenched process. There is no incentive for companies "Go Green". Congress should enact legislation that will open the doors for Corporate America to benefit from existent and new technologies. People seem to love the Toyota Prius, but its battery production has been linked to a nickel mine in Ontario which has been a source of extreme environmental pollution.

Does it really take one event to pass Federal legislation? What about the fate of concert-goers in this country? While it is great that a company like eBay is acting socially responsible affection--rightfully so--given that scalping has been and always will be a problem. For Sen. Feinstein to waste tax payer money any further is an affront. Persons will still find other outlets to scalp and purchase tickets because demand, especially in this instance is prodigious.
