"Voice is about style of expression, but it's also about the ideas that shape that expression. Readers take that 'voice' and construct a sense of identity around it."although the person isn't the work, the work (at least of a matured artist) is the person: an identity expressed through a particular point of view.
People are like sheep: they follow the leader. It is the leader who has a point of view about which way they should go….Having the courage to stand up for it in the face of public opinion is what makes you a winner.It's why telling your story isn't (just) an exercise in narcissism, but a political act. It's the overriding point of view that shapes the culture. It not only sets policy but influences the way we talk and think about different groups of people as well as ourselves. But if it's to mean anything to anybody other than yourself (and your mom), it has to connect with an audience in a way that resonates: they have to see themselves in you.
When you shift your focus from your self (and your own self-consciousness) to the ideal that you want to serve, and how you embody or manifest that ideal for other people. When you know what you represent. So when your wrong people attack you (and they will) you recognize that they are attacking what they think you stand for, not you personally; and you, in turn, are defending your ideas (or opting out of the argument altogether). your purpose chooses you, and you don't discover it so much as unearth it from your layers of personality and personal history.

" If you tell people the world is complicated, you’re not doing your job as a social scientist. They already know it’s complicated. Your job is to distill it, simplify it, and give them a sense of what is the single [cause], or what are the couple of powerful causes that explain this powerful phenomenon.”
That’s the job of a lot of leaders, isn’t it? Take complexity and simplify it, then explain it, then assign causes, and finally propose action for dealing with it."

Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see whether anyone is following them. "Leadership qualities" are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers [charisma], but those that enable them to do without them.
