Hi, Wally.  Thanks for stopping by and adding to the conversation!

I'd like to offer a question in response to some of your logic.  What about someone like Rosa Parks.  She's a historical icon, because she took a stance.  And because she took a stance to do what was right (even though it was unheard of and unprecedented) she led to a significant change in history.

I'm certainly not suggesting that all you have to do is what's right and good and that makes you a leader.  There's more to it than that.  BUT - when you choose to always do the right thing, I do believe in our world, you come against opposition.  I also think that, often times, that earns you what you would call "followers."

Frankly, I'm not a fan of the word "follower" either.  If we're all in the boat together, it's more of a team approach with a leader.  The term "follower" may suggest to some that the follower isn't thinking for him or herself, when in fact, they may simply be in agreement on an issue.


Let's keep the dialogue going!  This kind of discussion is healthy, I believe, adn helps us all learn and grow!
