Quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molde

Summary

This quote suggests that a true leader does not merely strive to find common ground or agreement among others, but instead takes the initiative to shape and guide consensus. Rather than passively seeking consensus, a genuine leader actively influences and molds it by offering their vision, ideas, and persuasive skills. They proactively listen, understand, and consider different perspectives, but ultimately lead by rallying others around a shared purpose or goal. Such leaders inspire and motivate individuals, bridging the gaps between differing opinions and forging a unified direction. By actively molding consensus, they demonstrate their ability to lead and make a meaningful impact.

I hear the way people talk about the children of famous people. They're not treated very well. The presumptions are usually quite awful. So I tried to establish myself with a couple of movies. After 'Juno' I thought: 'I think I've defined myself enough as my own director that I'd love to work with my father.'
