  Comments:
The current gloss, "leader", only captures a sliver of themeaning of the term 推進者 and, if left to stand on its own, will can easily be misinterpreted to mean "leader" in the sense of "head"/"person in charge", which is definitely not part of the meaning (a 推進者 need not have any official role, if any, in a given organisation).
Support from another source (GG5?) wouild hbe appreciated...
