Looks like today is one of those days where I take things people say and argue against them. Like this post, which asserts, in the title, "if the leaders don't get it, it doesn't happen." Which is patently false; otherwise, there would never be underground slang, certain types of drug use, streaking, counter-revolutionaries, grass-roots movements, fads and fashions, and a host of other things big and small that leaders just don't get. The 'great leader' theory of change and progress is demonstrably false; history is littered with leaders who didn't "get it" and whose institutions changed anyways.
