Leaders are much like Eagles by: JAY D. 5 JAN, 2001

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone,
the courage to make tough decisions,
to listen to the needs of others.

He does not set out to be a leader,
but becomes one by the quality of his actions
and the integrity of his intent.

In the end, leaders are much like eagles...
they don't flock,
you find them one at a time."

I received this from an old Marine friend at HQMC, I think it really explains leaders.
