LEADERSHIP
TO BE A LEADER DOES NOT MEAN BEING A HIGH AND MIGHTY BOSS. A leader is a servant as much as a commander. A good leader cares about others a leaders must lead others to success. If a leader's goal was to achieve success only for one's own self, then I'd call him or her a climber, for one who climbs to success, but not a leader. A leader who does not benefit others serves no purpose in an organization or in society. Leadership binds together THE: Leader and Follower Coach and Team Manager and Staff President and Citizens
