To Lead or Not To Lead?
"The world is full of willing people; some willing to work and the rest willing to let them." This indifference of the majority has an effect on American leadership.

Leaders live in glass houses. It's not easy to be a wise leader. "Some are like cafeterias; they believe in self-service only." Authority is given to use intelligently-not to feed one's ego. The influential leader may choose between justice and evil. Too many of our country's gifted leaders are entangled in evil enterprises.
 A leader is best when people barely know he exists. True leaders don't seek the limelight but help others to produce. A truly honest person creates the same impression on everyone.

It's necessary for a leader to be able to articulate, handle matters with finesse, and be able to inspire. Foresight, the willingness to compromise, common sense, and concern for others are assets for the leader. Leaders are not born; they are made.
