Preside.

From the very beginning, Obama has been a presider rather than a decider. His modus operandi is to marshal existing political forces toward a particular, prgmatic set of goals. 

- Andrew Sullivan

A good Leader Creates a Space.

She presides over that Space.

She holds it.

The measure of her power is not in what she does.

It's in what others do in that space.

It takes strength for her to hold that space against the forces that batter against it. Time. Money. Efficiency. Expediency. Fear. Ego. 

And the most powerful of them all - her self-doubt.

'Preside' comes from the Latin praesidere - to stand guard over.

Anyone who creates a space and protects the process of discernment and decision making within - is a Leader.
