Try switching the ordering:
if(newLdrshipMsg) {
$('#leadershipMsgId').click( function() {
showHideLeadershipMsg
(curMessageNum,'leadershipMsgCk');
});
$('#leadershipMsgId').click();
}
The click(...) defines what happens when you click it. It doesn't
actually perform the click.
The click() performs the click.
