I know plenty of people (and I think I include myself among them) who stick their kneck out and get on with doing what they hope is right. Yes it is messy. Sometimes I know I'm acting a whole load of things, and I can see people I admire doing the same, and doing it well. The business of being confident when you are trying something that you're not sure will work is sometimes the business of leading. To pull that off, even the finest leaders have to have a stab at acting it, hopefully well. Your distinction here is quite challenging.
