A Parody of the "Leader"

I just read this spectacular parody of 'leadership' in Transformational Church (Stetzer and Rainer):
Normally, what we really mean when we say "leader" is a strong, no-compromise, CEO who is not afraid of anybody but God. That leader is charging forward with a tribe of crazed folders. The leader has a game show-host public charisma and a personality that makes even casual contact inspirational. The leader has a strong belief in personal leadership skills. He is always courageous and sometimes reckless. (76)
My favourite bit: "...and sometimes reckless".

And just for clarity: No, the authors are not recommending such 'leadership' in our churches.
