Yes, I agree.  As a teacher my job is to lead everyday... and when you are teaching writing, literature, and history to urban, South American immigrants you need to QUICKLY refine and improve your leadership style!  Being European myself, I found that they won't always listen to me as I am an outsider.

As you said in your blog, "I believe that leaders are everywhere, not just at the top of an organization."  Thus, to help gain Buy-In for the class I promote my best students to be leaders of other students.  I have a detailed example in my blog of using Lieutenants and Captains to let the students teach/guide/lead students.  I just facilitate.

If I couldn't delegate some of my leadership responsibilities I would have been dead from overwork long ago.  Thanks for the food for thought!
