A person can become a leader by leading people out of a crisis (Kennedy, Guilliani, Churchill, etc.), but I believe the mark of a true leader is one who can lead not just in a crisis, but also when there is no crisis. For that, to be a leader, you must have a ‘big idea’ that others will support and pursue (follow). Some notable examples include Richard Branson, Herb Kelleher, Jack Welch, Michael Dell, Fred Smith (FedEx). “Leadership is a decision, not a position” (my words)
