 In the simplest sense, a leader is someone with followers. While it’s popular these days to embrace slogans such as “Everyone a leader,” they are simply not true. Leadership is a high calling and should be pursued by those who have the desire, drive, and ability to develop the necessary character and behaviors. Some people are born leaders. Others are developed as leaders. Most should seek to follow commendable leaders. Find your calling, be it leader or follower, and pursue it. Either outcome has value and will serve as a reward for the time you invest reading and reflecting on these pages.
