Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.

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

Comment

in context: " I do not determine what is right and wrong by looking at the budget of my organization or by taking a Gallup poll of the majority opinion. Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus."
