Leader, What is a leader? Is it someone who puts on a florescent hat and stands in a commanding position pointing at a task to be done? No a leader is someone that is aware of a task that needs to be done. A leader takes off his suit coat, rolls up his selves and  seeks assistance to complete a task. A leader is not afraid to admit when he needs help, and does not bail out leaving the work for others. A leader is humble but daring, gentle but quick, calm but ready for battle. Being a leader is something that sounds fascinating because of bragging rights or better pay, but behind the curtain is a puzzle that needs solving whether it takes hours or years. We should not be afraid to step up but we should always be aware that if we step up it is because we plan to see this challenge to the end and beyond the outcome will make you a great leader or "not". Like Sponge Bob says "I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready".
