Do you know about Malaria No More? I just wrote up a quick case study of their strategy and it strikes me as an excellent example of how celebrity star power can be used to rouse public passion around an issue.

But they are also the only leaders who ever make a difference." These are just the only people who make a difference that you hear about. For each of these are thousands of others that make real differences every day. Respectfully - I must respectfully disagree with your statement that “charismatic leaders can be dangerous.
