Nice article. Indeed, if we choose not to lead, we fall into the vision of another who took the chance and made the decision to lead.

The true challenge of leadership is to step up and let your passion flow. How we decide in each circumstance will determine whether we become leaders or remain as followers.

I think what grabbed me was the “living a mediocre and passive existence” – Who wants that? So either you step into leadership or you kind of are a wartish being. We choose to abdicate our natural place in the world.

Although it seems that our default mode is to be passive and “let the other guy handle it” – leadership calls us to act at our highest level of functioning.

Thanks for this blog. I am going to refer to it in mine soon.
