Leadership is about service not self importance, sacrifice not self actualisation and it is exercised through love not power.

Each of us has a part to play, no part is more important than another. It is not better to be a President than a director, more significant to pastor a large church or a small one, more strategic to be running programs or cooking meals at camp.

I like watching individual competitors in athletics and tennis but overall I prefer team sports. There is something about a team that works well where the whole becomes more than the sum of the individual parts. One of the challenges of leading a team is working out what contribution each member can make.

My preference for team extends to superheroes as well as sports. So I favour The Avengers, The Justice League and The Fantastic Four over the dysfunctional individual even if some of them do recruit lesser associates as companions or helpers. A sidekick is not the same as a team.
