Instead she moved and excelled in school. She made good grades and scholarships to the University of Tennessee.
She is a extremely intelligent person with a caring heart.( Benfari, Robert. (1995)) Any leader has to be smart. Oprah is also a caring person but she can maintain her leadership qualities even while she cares. Oprah is also a good leader because when she was sexually abused she turned the negative energy into positive energy by excelling in school. Oprah also set goals and achieved them. Oprah lost a lot of weight when she first started her TV show. She lost 90 pounds and achieved her goal. All leaders have to set goals and do what ever it takes to achieve them.
Oprah Winfrey is not doubt a visionary leader. A visionary may dream wonderful visions of the future and articulate them with great inspiration. A visionary is good with words.

More than words are needed for a vision to take form in today’s world. It requires leadership and heartfelt commitment.......
