About This Quote
A leader cannot fall prey to the whims of the voices that shout the loudest, but must stand as a voice of reason in defense of the silent. This quote addresses one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s principles of leadership: leadership is not about being a follower. Leaders make their own decisions and control their own actions. Rather than following the crowd, they stand out from the crowd by being a voice for reason and a champion for change.
