Carolyn Yeager delves into the topic of leadership. What makes a leader and why don't we have one? Probably because a truly commanding leader is a rara avis who must have a number of outstanding qualities. Is Matt Hale the real thing? A close look at his legal briefs and lawsuits tells us quite a bit about him. Highlights include: U-Boat Commander Otto Weddigen and his "triple triumph" on Sept. 22, 1914;The six necessary traits of a Leader, plus the intangible "Leadership Presence;"Mathew Hale's life story and recent press releases reveal he has these traits to a marked degree;Hale has protested his innocence from the beginning and the records bear it out;Hale's legal rights as a prisoner have been largely denied him for 11 years of solitary confinement;It's time for a widespread protest campaign in support of the Free Matt Hale movement because he is a leader we need.
