On Followship

Many who take courses in leadership in the hope of attaining it fail because they have never learned to follow.  They are like the boys who were playing war in the street.  When a passerby inquired why they were so quiet and were doing nothing, one lad replied, "We are all generals.  We can't get anyone to do the fighting."
