Tacitus said, "Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader." Without these, the leader lives in another world. Reason gives the leader a real sense of the world. Judgment gives the leader the ability to choose between right/wrong, right/right, and wrong/wrong.
Situations
Right and Wrong: To discriminate on the basis of sex, religion, race, etc.
Right and Right: Should I give to this or that charity? Which all-star should I promote? Who will be in the starting lineup when I have 10 great players?
Wrong and Wrong: When two wrongs are present, one must be chosen, and the leader chooses the lesser of the two wrongs.
Principled Leadership: "Come, follow me, and leave the world to its babblings." Dante, The Divine Comedy
