Leaders are people transformed by responsibility. Leaders are found in every age and in all kinds of places. Through the ages, ordinary men and women have done extraordinary things. Yet for most leaders, time as imposed anonymity. To the list of leaders we present here, you can add your own. Time changes our perceptions of leaders. By understanding who we want as leaders, do we begin to understand what leadership is all about— the essense of leadership.

You must write your own story of leadership as a sibiling, a parent, a relative, a boss, a teacher. The story of leaders are important, for they help to stretch our capacity for life and help give us shape to the unknown.
