Leading 101 -- Am I A Leader?

There is much to learn about leadership. Every day, a leader can learn new things. Each experience will provide insight to be reflected upon. Such experiences are valuable, so that those leadership theories will be put to the test. And what works and what does not can be known. The next time around, the leader will have wisdom. But before we proceed, there is one question facing us that we have to answer:

Leading 101 -- Am I A Leader?

If you have not been in a leadership position before, you may be asking yourself this. And you think, that others are lucky since they don't question themselves whether they have it in them. Well, guess what, even leaders will sometimes doubt themselves. We are all humans, and there will always be times when we doubt ourselves, our capabilities--but having doubts, does not make us unworthy of leadership positions.

So, when you ask yourself, "Am I a leader?" -- "Yes, I can be!" should be the answer.
