“Leadership is probably the most misunderstood word in our vocabulary today. Leadership is not personality, not a position, not endowed to a certain few. Leadership is that certain something that is ‘bought with a price.’ It is bought with a price that can be paid by anyone, anytime, anywhere and YOU are as much a leader today as you are going to be, because the price you are paying today is determining the leader you will be tomorrow. Everyone has an obligation, as well as the privilege, of leading in something. Leadership begins with a simple decision to pay the price and ends the moment you cease to pay it.”
