The traditional notion of the “heroic” leader may be just a stereotype.
Or is it?
Crises allow heros to quickly emerge. And, heroes seem to be allocated leadership (almost celebrity) status in their space. Probably fair enough in the emotion of the moment.

Effective? Apparently. Time and hindsight often tells.
You probably had to be on the ground inside the circumstances to judge effectiveness.
Certainly compassion and sound judgement seem to be key qualities of effective leaders. Full of leadership. In fact, leaderful.
