      That's fantastic! When I talk, people dream. When I teach, they read books, work on their iPhones, do more than sit and listen. I guess that means I'm a leader. What a relief!

          There's no such thing as a "leader", there are just people who have abilities and knowledge that are appropriate for a leadership role under particular circumstances and conditions, and to whom other people allow a measure of authority. Take someone you think of as "a good leader" from here and place him there, and he can become a useless, annoying piece of cr@p, because the people there don't think of him as a leader. Scrap any self-improvement books that tell you otherwise. Actually, just scrap any self-improvement books. You are who you are. If that's not good enough for you, just check in to an insane asylum, and save everyone else a lot of bother in dealing with you.

                Nope. Someone who is convinced that trying to change himself in accordance with other people's ideas will improve his personality needs a slap, not encouragement, to knock those ideas right out of his head. Trying to be someone you're not makes you a worse person, not a better one.

                      I prefer the Royal Marines take on leadership which is that the person with the most knowledge and skills in a 'situation' takes leadership irrespective of rank.
