“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” – Henry David Thoreau

Dreamers are not always Leaders, but inspiring Leaders are definitely Dreamers.
This is the message from a post on the Dumb Little Man, a website with tips on productivity, saving money, and keeping yourself sane.
5 Reasons Why Dreamers Can Be Leaders (Read full Article here):
1. Clarity of Vision
Dreams take work to realize and there must be a way there. For example, Steve Jobs of Apple, without that man we would have no iPods!
“Vision without Action is a Dream. Action without Vision is simply passing the Time. Action with Vision is making a positive difference.” – Joel Barker
2. Radical Thinking
Gandhi, even Hitler, gained a huge following because their ideas where different that the status quo.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” – Albert Einstein
3. Burning Desire
Fulfilling your dreams takes a lot of work. How many people have “million dollar ideas” and how many people have a million dollars?
“Success is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve.” – Wilifred Peterson
4. Reservoir of Confidence & Strength
The difference between counting the minutes working a corporate job and working the same or more on your dream is that it does not feel like work. For example, Martin Luther King stood in front of the world, confidently speaking his dreams.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
5. Pouring the Heart
I met Chapman in Charlottesville. He had started a website, FreeLanguage.org, a few years back and now thousands of folks visit his site, learning new languages for them and making himself a liveable income. “I just knew it was going to work the entire time.”
“I want to be fully alive, present, aware, and open to new possibilities in every moment I take a breath, living each day as if it may be my very last one. I want to be thoroughly used up; all I am, all I have, every single part of me. Every thought explored, every gift shared.” – George Bernard Shaw

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
