Ideas Not Ego

People assume that leadership is about getting others to follow them. It isn't. Leadership is about getting people to follow ideas. True leadership isn't about the leader. It's about implementing a vision, achieving a goal, or advancing a cause. Getting people to follow you because you want to be in charge is about your ego. It's what we expect on a playground from school children: "I'm going home if you don't play my way."
