Leadership

Leadership is the ability to make others carry out orders. It doesn’t change their underlying outlook or convictions; it lets the would-be leader seem credible or worthy of respect based upon whatever their standards are. It’s usually rolled with Charisma rather than Manipulation to reflect this distinction.
