I am not sure if this will make sense to many, but I believe a great leader is someone willing to serve. In my mind I believe you lead by example and that requires getting your hands dirty and doing some heavy lifting. Anyone who expects to get things done needs to inspire others and that means doing things that might seem impossible. There is a concept called servant-leadership and I buy into that a lot. Sometimes we can have too many chiefs and not enough workers too.
