Leadership is not a "learned" trait. It is a "burned" trait. If one does not risk the immersion of himself in the cauldron of the fire; no amount of advice or training from institutionalized "consultants" will help him. Those who can, Do!; those who can't, Pontificate and advise. Immersion is a powerful teacher. But don't just do it, think about it, procrastinate a little, ask a few others of significance and then take a flying leap off the cliff.
