As fire purifies gold, separating the gangue (waste) from the precious mineral, so does crises a leader. Crises is the truest test of the depth of leadership of any man; short or tall, rich or poor. It was in crises; July 10th, 1940, during the WWII; as Nazi bomber planes (Luftwaffe) sought to burn down Britain, that the leadership qualities of the 65-year-old Winston Churchill shone brightest. In-fact, Churchill’s charisma and tenacious character was what stood between Great Britain and defeat. Truly, it takes a Goliath to unearth a David.
