Leadership is Having a Crisis!

Do you remember Sheriff Woody Pride?  He was the toy leader in the movie "Toy Story."  While we may best remember space ranger Buzz Lightyear, he didn't have what it took to solve the toys' crisis.  It was Woody who came to their aid and led them.  According to Pulitzer Prize winner Gary Wills, "The leader is one who mobilizes others toward a goal shared by leaders and followers.  Leaders, followers and goals make up the three equally necessary supports for leadership." So we see that leaders mobilize people toward a goal.
