Hi Steven:

Thanks for your comment. I understand the sentiments you have expressed as well as your caution and thank you for both. From my perspective the people you mention in warning are not "real" leaders, but rather megalomaniacs who use their charisma or sense of timing to gain access to power. In extreme cases what you describe goes beyond ego and arrogance and is nothing short of pure evil. People who impersonate leaders for the purposes of advancing their own agenda will eventually become their own undoing, but the sad part is that many people can get hurt in the process. Real leaders focus on service above self not self serving agendas put in place to the detriment of many for the benefit of few.  Thanks again for the words of wisdom Steve.
