Leadership

From The Leadership Challenge, by Kouzes and Possner
Bet you never really thought of yourself as a “leader”. Most of us reserve that title for the rare, special super-human being that just has that “natural leader” gene. Actually, leadership is much less about some indefinable innate quality than it is about having a vision for something great, knowing how to get others to join you, and working hard to accomplish your goal.
