Leadership?
The most mysterious of all human qualities is leadership. We know what it does, but not what it is. A leader simply has followers. At times, I doubt if I could lead a pack of starving wolves if I were driving a dump truck full of pork chops. At other times, my words are accepted and taken the direction I seem to be going-- before I quite know what direction that might be.
Leadership arrives uninvited, loiters about just long enough to raise false hopes, and leaves without so much as a fare thee well. Is there even such a thing as leadership, or have we simply witnessed the condition of being temporarily immersed in an ocean of "followership?"

I hope it is a temporary dip, but I fear the followership is hard aground and here to stay.
