Leadership does not mean the same thing to everyone. Some might see leadership as standing in front of others and giving a speech. While some may think it is getting other people to do what you want. So what does leadership mean to you? Using the internet or a quote book find a quote that reflects your feelings about leadership. No two quotes can be the same. This quote will be used for an assignment in a couple weeks. Happy hunting.
