Great question Anne.

I believe most people want to realize their full potential...they want to be more than they are today. The research for the book I'm writing Life Is A Fork In The Road (http://www.facebook.com/lifeisaforkintheroad) confirms this. Not sure if they want to be led there. That's where leadership talent can make such a difference. A great leader can help people to discover their potential and inspire them to move toward it without the people feeling their are being led. That's the trick and the real difference between someone trying to be a leader and someone who is a leader.

You might say that leadership is the art of getting people to discover they really want to do something they were not aware they wanted to do. It's finding a way to turn on people's self motivation.
