"If you don’t think of yourself as a leader, then you’re limited in your thinking. Leading is the way we help move people into action, including ourselves. The question is not whether you are a leader, but how well you lead." — Bruce D. Schneider, Energy Leadership, from Everyone is a Leader
Everyone is a leader, however some of us are more effective leaders than others. As leaders we a firstly responsible for leading ourselves and secondly we are responsible for leading others. Effective leaders are those whom are able to move people into action. This is because leaders are known by their results, not by their grand visions and plans.
Judged by your results… How effective is your leadership?

Sorry, George, I have to disagree with the premise. I don’t think everyone chooses to be a leader. And if we make everyone a leader then, it seems to me, no one is a leader.
George,
I also believe everyone can be a leader. It is a choice that one makes.
If you choose to be a leader, it does not mean that you lead always. I believe there is a leadership dance where you step forward to lead, you step back to follow, you step to the side to bystand. I am ecstatic when others step forward to lead. I like to let it happen. In my thinking, there can never be too much leadership.
Thanks for you insight.
Don
