One of the most important skills that differentiates a leader from a manager is the ability to create and articulate a clear vision for all of the followers.
In an interview with CNN's John King on State of The Union, Jack Welch, former CEO of GE, said he continues to disagree with many of Obama's policies, but said the new president deserves "an 'A' in terms of leadership.”
"I like the way he's expressing a vision, the way he's brought a team together," Welch said. "He's done the vision thing, he's a great communicator and he's got a team-building skill that is really working."

I completely agree. President Obama does what all great leaders do and set the vision, build the team for the journey and move out in the right direction. Not everyone will choose to support the decisions taken (as apparently Jack Welch does not) but a leaders role is not to make everyone happy as that is an impossible task.
