Leading from Behind

When a leader creates or empowers a grassroot group to do their bidding, especially in cases where it would be illegal for leading direct efforts (e.g. Bush Doctrine of preemptive regime change) or where it would be consider imperialist, etc.. This type of support and empowerment can be mutually beneficial for the leader and the grassroot group. However, it can be to the detriment to one or the other (or both) if there is a separation of interests. As the grassroot group develops leadership roles the new leaders may take the group in a very different direction that is beneficial to the grassroot group, or the empowerer may begin to choose or control the leaders and take it in a very different direction. In the early stages the new leaders in the grassroot groups may be weak and depend on the support of the outside leader to consolidate power. However, over time a leader may consolidate power for their own interest, or the new grassroot leaders and the outside leaders may work to the detriment of the grass roots group. This is especially true in cases where the outside and/or inside leader(s) have goals inconsistent with the grassroot groups. In a lot of cases the result is total chaos with the consolidated groups fragmenting into self interest groups who compete and who don't know how to cooperate.
Recently Obama has been successful with his policy of "leading from behind" in Libya, however, it is yet to be seen if the grassroot groups will achieve any of Obama's goals.

Leading from Behind is a dominant foreign strategy of USA Presidents. While it worked in Vietnam, Cambodia, Middle East, Africa. Panama, Afghanistan initially it failed miserably in the long run because of corruption and almost complete movement away from the goals of the original grassroot group and often the group leading from behind. In places like Cuba it failed miserably yet continued, because it satisfied the special interests of the Cuban exiles.

Leaving Clegg in charge.

'Leaving Clegg in charge' is a phrase that refers to something that seems like a good idea at the time but ultimately ends in chaos, usually referring to leaving someone in charge who is an incompetent idiot.
David: hmm I feel like a very expensive holiday to Italy, Nick you're in charge for the week.
Nick: Oh thank you David, I won't let you down.
*Comes back a week later to riots and madness*
David: WTF
Boris: That's what we get for Leaving Clegg in charge.

Leading Off

1) Straying off of your base while waiting for the pitcher to deliver the pitch.

2) Hitting in the top position of the batting order.

3) Starting off your team's offensive half-inning at bat.
1) Mora was leading far off of first base, allowing him to get a good jump and steal second.

2) Even though he had shown little control of the strike zone, Reyes still led off for the Mets against Carpenter.

3) After making a difficult running catch to end the seventh inning, Rowand led off the top of the eighth with a double in the left-centerfield gap.
