Final answer:

The proper term for a lack of leadership is 'paucity,' making the sentence: 'There is a paucity of real leadership.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The word that should be used to describe a shortage or lack of leadership in an organization is paucity. The sentence would correctly read as: "We have many capable and well-meaning people in our organization, but it seems to me that there is a paucity of real leadership." The word paucity means a small or insufficient quantity or number, which fits the context of expressing concern over the lack of leadership. On the other hand, juggernaut refers to a large, powerful force or organization that cannot be stopped, which does not align with the context of the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option (a) Paucity.
