Born to Lead

A leader of men
No guts, no glory
Pay special attention
Or you may miss this story.
Not everyone was born
To take the lead.
Some were born to follow
And there's a big difference indeed.
A leader knows the weaknesses of his people
And knowing their strengths can get from each their best.
A leader is a tireless striver
He just seems to need little rest.
A leader sets the example
You tend to see his ups more than his downs.
A leader makes possible the seemingly impossible
Regardless of who may be around.
A leader will be the first to take a stand
His people will inevitably know what to do
And even if there's pressure from the top
His vision will allow all the best view.
Being a leader is not easy
Although he may make it look that way.
A leader's ability to take all pressures off of you
Makes for a more tolerable working day.
But if you think being a leader is easy
Ask if you can give it a try
Then and only then will you see each situation
And for each what he does, now you'll know why.
So when the going gets tough
Are you being led appropriately?
The followers will be in the crowd looking confused
Out in front cooly, calmly, and collectedly the leaders will be.

Very good poem! The great thing about a leader, is that it can be anyone! Everyone is equal!
