A true leader has the confidence to stand alone,

the courage to make tough decisions,

and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.

He does not set out to be a leader,

but becomes one by his actions,

and the integrity of his intent.

In the end leaders are much like eagles,

they don’t flock,

you find them one at a time
