Rightly said @emancipatedhuman. Just want to add one more thing ; when you make the choice to be a leader, there are some things you have to give up: Ego, for one. Doing it your way. Always knowing you're right. Never having your world view challenged.
In exchange, though, you'll gain a few things: An atmosphere of collegiality and collaboration.
A workplace that people will line up to work at. An authentic authority that comes from who you are, not what you say or do. The chance to change lives--including your own.
You don't have to look very hard to see that we already have plenty of bosses in the world.
Following you @emancipatedhuman fore more great posts...Keep it up bro.
oh man, i agree with what you said here. in my opinion, a leader is a a block remover. not just a way-shower. thanks for your comment!
