What Does it Take to Lead?
I know I keep coming back to this theme, but everywhere I turn I am struck with the same thought. The reason that so many of our organizations, even our society in general, are lacking true leadership is because to really be a leader, it takes 1 thing…courage.

Just because you want to lead, does not imply that you will have followers. The video below perfectly exemplifies true leadership and the process by which a leader is created.
