Cynthia, it was a great interchange both at the Lead Change Tulsa breakfast and here.  We all do want to be part of a vision that is greater than just ourselves.  We all do want to either join a great cause or create our own.  We're looking for leaders.  Our world needs leaders to stand up for their "thing" and go do something about it.  Those of us who share an interest in that "thing" can join in, freely, without becoming a "follower."

One of the great things about the character-based leadership movement that I see happening all over the Internet (and maybe the world) is that we all instinctively "get-it" even though we say it different ways.  "Leader" isn't a class; it's a role.  We all need people of character to step into that role, earn our influence and our energetic participation and go make the world better.

Thanks so much for being part of my journey.  I appreciate it.
