[QUOTE="DevilDon, post: 490223, member: 2057"] You might want to disagree but you would be wrong. Even the least of us has the ability to learn and develop leadership. It's not an innate ability. In fact, I might argue that those who have the least of gifted skills are at an advantage to become leaders as their handicap in that area are an inspiration. People admire determination and perseverance in any form and that is a terrific foundation for leadership. Let's look at one case in point: Charles Woodson. Nobody wanted him, he came to the Packers because he had no choice. Club footed as a child he overcame that obstacle to garner a Heisman. Disoriented and misdirected he didn't' have a stellar career at Oakland. He became a leader in Green Bay when he understood what it meant to be a leader and to act as a leader. He got focused, he became professional about his job. It wasn't in place when he got here ThxJack, he developed it. He often argued with MM but he learned what it meant to be an inspiration. He learned about his job by observing others, probably, notably Aaron Rodgers. As for Lattimore, it doesn't matter if he succeeds as a football player, every single man in that locker room would note if he was on time for each session, spent time looking at film and working above and beyond what was expected of any other LB. You're really, really missing something if you think leadership means success in a given field. It's not how it works... leadership is more often defined by the ability to overcome shortcomings. And there is not one single way to know if an unknown is the inspiration for the others. It's what defined Charles Woodson and Donald Driver. A person can become a leader at 10 or 100. It's never over Thx. It's the one defining characteristic of the strength of oneself. We arent' all blank slates, but we can all become leaders. [/QUOTE]
