How do you deal with bad/inadequate leadership?
Most people have encountered bad or inadequate leadership in their lives.
I have many different roles where I lead and am lead everyday, sometimes the decisions that are made by those "above" me are really poor, and reasoning with these people is often out of the question...
I'm looking for your story and how you solved it, or didn't.

I would refer to the case of Leader Vs Manager as referred to by John Kotter of Harvard Business School. Where a good manager could be put in a leadership position but mainly continue to use his management skills rather than leadership skills. Such person can learn and be mentor.
