Hey Jim. No worries here. There are more distressing things going on in my life to let this one qualify. ;)

I have read a few different definitions myself over the years, but I guess I most relate to Philip Crosby’s definition of a leader as he defines in his book, The Absolutes of Leadership.

Crosby believed that we might be leaders in one segment while not in others. While everyone has the ability to be a leader, only a few will spend a majority of their time in the leader’s position to be recognized as a ‘leader’. He also stated that we move about between 5 types of leadership, where as we are most notably recognized by our predominant type. It was a good book for me and a quick read at that. Most here will buzz through it in 2-4 hours.

For me, leaders aren’t born. They generate themselves. But we digress. Perhaps this topic would be worthy of another thread??

Regards,

Kevin

Yes - I think so, Kevin

Will you do the honors?

Uh, before we go. I think Sam's post regarding leadership qualities for the marines is informative. I was especially fond of :

tact
integrity
unselfishness
knowledge (key)
know yourself and seek self improvement
bearing

Looking at those requirements, I now know why I joined the Navy. Having said that, ex-jarheads I have met must have left those qualities in the Corp. Not you, Sam. Randy? Never met him. But, I'm thinking tact here. :vfunny:

O.K. Kevin, do your thing, Super Seymour Moderator. :ko: :smokin: :rolleyes:

You think? Any ideas on who that may be? Wouldn't be that hard if you registered with a sibling's computer. :vfunny: Pretty shifty thing to do. The field narrows somewhat because Lean posted from Canada. HMMMMM. You are a piece of work! Naturally, I like that. :vfunny: :agree: :ko: :smokin:
Mike-

I think our buddy (a.k.a. Lean) is also our new friend Systems_Thinker who posted an initial offering on "Systems Thinking" several weeks ago Why do I think this? They are both from Canada and look at the salutations that each of them use (Cheers!).
