What approaches do you consider to be the most effective for leveraging social/political change?

Ultimately, we elect leaders. People who can't inspire, provide vision, develop loyalty, and organize, don't belong in office. They demonstrate this by their team building. If they can't succeed as a leader on a personal level, how can we expect them to succeed when elected? Very few politicians have ever inspired me to join their team. I once did grunt work, passing out literature and then driving voters to the polls, even before I could vote myself. For anther candidate, I produced TV commercials. More recently, I provided social media expertise to a candidate's campaign. In all those years, ages 17 to 75, those are the only three who ever inspired me to make the effort. Sad, isn't it. Still, in evaluating candidates, I always look at their team. No candidate has confused me more than President Trump who has selected some of the best team members and some of the worst. I can only suppose that this is the result of having an exceptionally small pool to select from inasmuch as "his party" virtually abandoned him before and after the election. Is there an answer to your question in all this? I suppose. I trust you'll ferret it out...
