Answer:
A Leader Is One Who Knows the Way Goes the Way and Shows the Way
This is a famous quote from John C. Maxwell. "A leader is one who knows the way goes the way and shows the way." This quote has become my definition for how I view leadership.
Explanation:
There I stood, having my leadership abilities ‘challenged’ once again. In front of me was someone more equipped to be in my leadership position than I was. But I had clawed my way to the top of this organization, and no one was taking my place. I was the leader, and I was willing to do whatever it took to stay there! The person standing in front of me was older than me and clearly knew more about leadership (and life) than I did. I remember feeling uneasy as this ‘opponent’ became popular among the group of 50+ volunteers. (I already didn’t like this guy!)DailyPSDAILYPSPRIMARY MENU

Who I just described to you was me in my late teens.
This was my understanding of what it meant to be a leader. I became obsessed with keeping my position. In this obsession, I missed the point entirely. I didn’t know or understand what it meant to lead people. My understanding of (or lack thereof) leadership reminds me of Clu from Tron Legacy. The idea of creating the perfect system poisoned his mind which ultimately led to his corruption.
