A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but a molder of consensus

I’m reading The Promise and the Dream, a book about Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, and I came upon this MLK quote:

I am not a ‘consensus leader.’ And I do not determine what is right and wrong by looking at the budget of the SCLC or by taking a Gallup poll. Ultimately [a] genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but a molder of consensus.

YES.
