Leadership

Many a times I wonder...

How do leaders become leaders?
Through great leadership? Charisma? Ability? Vision? Spirit?

For many leaders out there....None it seems.
Each of the above is a mark of great leaders.Even one of the traits would be enough to enthrall and attract followers to do their bidding willingly.
Yet, many in leadership positions nowadays simply do not have what it takes anymore. How they survive the climb up there is a conundrum to me. Perhaps the 'leaders' who train these would-be leaders are identical to their trainees linking a whole chain of inept leadership system. This is especially inherent in the army. Not many people can change it, but those who can i hope they take notice soon, because the word leader is being vilely corrupted by the likes of these people.

Many a times...

The cost of choosing not to lead is to be led by your inferiors.


An Evil Leader whose death brought life, but a leader nonetheless
Adolf Hitler

A leader who led to the death of thousands and impoverished millions, but a leader nonetheless
Mao Zedong

An inspiration born in the darkest hour.
A True Leader.
Sir Winston Churchill
