Since it is different from positional leadership, those senses, a sense of mission, urgency, responsibility and service, are senses you either have to have or develop.  Please take a minute and<a title="4 Senses of Character Based Leadership" href="http://smartblogs.com/leadership/2013/12/19/4-senses-of-character-based-leadership/" target="_blank"> check out the post</a> and let me know if you think I got them all or if there are others.  Read more here....
