Comfort in Conformity

Society plays a huge part in the leader/follower teeter totter of life. If you're going to split from the wave of normal society, you better make sure you can swim on your own. Taking on a leadership position, to me, has always meant that you knew how to get people to do positive things on their own. Taking joy in assisting people to do positive things without asking "what do I get out of this," that's someone who should be leading. I think people tend to take leading roles in hopes of being the center of attention when, in reality, a leader should want the task at hand to be the center of attention, and those he or she is leading to shine before he or she does. 

"To lead the people, walk behind them." ~ Lao Tzu

  1. I'm amazed at how straight forward you make this topic look via your articles, though I must admit I still don't quite
    have an understanding of it. It seems too complicated and extremely extensive for me personally.
    I am anticipating your subsequent publishings, I will try to get the gist of it.
