RE: Benjamin Franklin was a pretty good leader.
I love Ben but he was not a leader, visionary perhaps, but he was a statesman akin to today’s state department.
“I love Ben but he was not a leader”
I believe that he was the one who actually brought all the competing factions together so they could agree on the Constitution. Without him, the men could’ve — maybe would have — dispersed and where would we be?
I guess you’re right that that’s not a “leader” with a title and position, but sometimes leaders work in the background.
