I've had the pleasure of having worked with some real leaders, the mature ones who took their teams to new heights while keeping an eye on the company bottom line, ROI and all the wonderful things that we had to report to shareholders. They were the true mature adult leaders, Mary.

Sadly nowadays I notice that the bosses aren't necessarily leaders with many of them stuck in  the stage where self-leadership learning stage. When organizations promote professionals  who are competent in their work but haven't received the right training as leaders, a lot starts to go wrong including the tendency of co-workers to start behaving like sheep looking to the sheep dog for directions while the sheep dog is figuring it out.
