[QUOTE="DevilDon, post: 490265, member: 2057"] You provide the perfect assessment there. Nobody expected Charles Woodson to be the leader but he became one. He was coached to be one and he was able to learn and use those abilities that define leadership. Charles Woodson wasn't always a leader, he was taught and cajoled to be one. It has no bearing whatsoever on his physical gifts. If they were so inherent in his leadership qualities then he would have been considered a leader long, long ago. There is no finer example than military leadership. They are in fact command and control organizations and there is less likely to be a more obvious example of leadership's impression. It would be impossible to define any more "new age" leadership expressions and talk about the military in the same breath. It's history is far older than our great nation and far older than any statesman can hope to have made a difference. In fact, without the military leadership one might question whether Winston Churchill would have had an impact in the world. Even in a silicon valley start up with any kind of hope for success will have to have leaders. And even you must admit that athletic talent is on the far end of necessities for those jobs. You have pointed to the worst possible example. Literally thousands of those type of businesses have gone under due to lack of leadership. Perhaps what you are trying to say is that athletic, overachievers are more likely to become leaders? Yep, I think I agree and it's also more likely that ex-military are more likely to become leaders. Why? because it is part and parcel of that job. That is why employers are more likely to employ veterans. That doesn't diminish the fact that any single pedestrian can become a leader. [/QUOTE]
