"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent."?--Douglas MacArthur. Not everyone has the ability to become a leader, and to some it may not interest them. However, being a leader is a rewarding position to be in.
