Nothing gives away the true nature of leadership like a good crisis. Many that we now know as great leaders emerged in a time of crisis. If there was no apartheid and inequality in South Africa, would we have had a Nelson Mandela? If there was no second world war, would Winston Churchill have attained his leadership status?
Of course we do know that there have been leaders who even without a crisis rose up to be counted. The late Bob Collymore put his stamp on an organisation that impacted millions of lives. This is why when he died, even the street vendor mourned his departure.
