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
