It's an Admin!

masquerading as a fledgeling cub reporter on CR4, our mild-mannered web geek is in reality - Adminman!

That bath thread has been a reeeeely bad influence - so blame Kris

If you mean the ability/necessity of leading without direct command authority

try googling "bully pulpit"

During his day, Presidential power was greatly constrained, yet Teddy Roosevelt managed to command change through "persuasive" power.

Teddy is the most common example of this technique, but it actually applies to any President prior to his term.

Presidential powers have greatly expanded since.

Think about this:

"There goes my people. I must follow them, for I am their leader." (Mahatma Gandhi)
