LEADERSHIP QUOTE
What is leadership? Well, a leader is someone who has followers. How did that happen? It is a natural process. When there is someone in my group, the group I belong to, who is knowledgeable, skillful, perhaps dominant, perhaps historically they have been right, etc., etc., and he says, ‘let’s go this way.’
– Bill Gore
