Hahaha not all leaders are created equally, many nice people like yourself are leaders for causes, but just not all up in people's faces :)
I guess most leaders try to rally people behind a cause; but I think for allot the cause is simply an excuse, to get more power. What was the old saying... absolute power corrupts absolutely.
No ones perfect, but I agree with your reply.i.e. it's been awhile since I've come across a truly great leader based on someone acting in the interest of others...this would be dying breed.
Lol! I'm no leader! I prefer to follow unless it's a path I don't agree with. Then I'll set out alone if need be. Maybe join others along the way.
I often think the best leaders are those who don't particularly choose to lead, but somehow end up with the role out of circumstance.
