Bosses sit at the top and message orders down the pipe.

Would-be kings thrown coins to the crowd, ensuring they never have the means to earn any on their own.

Leaders, however, are conduits.  They can only achieve their visions by bridging the gap between individuals and accomplishment.

You don't find leaders at the top.  You don't find them at the back.  Leaders are always in the thick of things, empowering people to overcome adversity and seize opportunity.

That's why they're leaders.
