Great Post on Leadership

Ann Olveri wrote this great post on her observations on leadership during an adventure she went on.

In boldness, there is magic, as Goethe said. Leadership is about stepping up, committing, knowing what really matters, and trusting our ability to find a way.

No one can become a leader without stepping up and taking responsibility. There are many leadership styles, but none canbe seen without someone being willing to lead.
