What is a kinetic leader?

Science defines kinetic energy as energy in motion, moving rather than being at rest. According to leadership development expert Brad Lomenick, leaders can be classified either as kinetic or stagnant. Stagnant leaders are those with vast potential, but do not initiate any movement or change; kinetic leaders are those who want to move forward, setting goals and objectives and moving to achieve that goal. In essence, it is simply being proactive to a situation rather than being reactive, or even inactive.
