“Authority can be given to a person. Leadership cannot. People with authority often have no followers. People with followers often have no authority.”
- Roy H. Williams, The Wizard of Ads

Long-time subscribers know the old basketball addage: “Shooters shoot.”
The same is true with leaders. Leaders lead, regardless of title or authority. Leaders lead.
