We all Lead Something.

Some of us have “leader” titles like Chairman, President, CEO, Pastor, department head or project leader.  Regardless of our station, whether a manager leading a department, a mother leading her children, or the President of the United States, we all lead something.  Everyone can aspire to being a better leader, myself included.  A major part of our job is to bring out the best in those we work and live with.  Novelist, historian and politician, John Buchan writes, "The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there."
