A price of Leadership

Elder Gorden B Hinckley gave at Talk on Leadership on 4 November 1969.  The full talk can be accessed here:  https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/gordon-b-hinckley/loneliness-leadership/ I find it interesting that he was willing to talk about very sensitive subjects like the Vietnam war without politicizing them.
