Does hero = leader?

I am not sure people think of "Sully" as a leader, as much as they think of him as a "hero." Nonetheless, we know that in the U.S. political scene, heroics often leads to an assumption that one can also be a leader. And so I suspect that if Sully were to run for office, he might do quite well. Whether his heroic status translates into leadership effectiveness is anyone's guess.
