How does a leader re-fuel?

I have encountered an article in one of the leading newspaper, the title says “LEADERSHIP requires energy”. I became interested as I myself is considered to be the leader in our team, aside from that I am also looking for a leader quality in our organization and I am in distressed because I badly needed mentoring. Unfortunately for me I have stayed for more than 2 years in this organization and until now I can not seem to find anyone whom I can call my leader.

Going back to the article it says..”leading requires a great deal of mental and emotional vigor. If you’re a leader, you have to initiate, which means you often have to be the first one to rise and say, “Let’s go.” You frequently have to say, “Let’s go,” to people who don’t want to go, which means you have to persuade them that they need to follow you.”

I can not agree more based on my experience I often find myself in full agility and alertness to convince my team to follow me. Aside from that I have to solve complex problems, acting as mediator, negotiator, counselor and encourager to my fellow co-workers. Sure this job is intellectually stimulating and personally fulfilling, but somehow its physically and emotionally draining. Not to mention that some people in our organization tend to sapped my strength and zapped my spirit with their stupid decisions. If a leader is drained how does one tend to move on and re-fuel the energy?
