Rotary in Australia (and posibly world wide) run week long leadership courses called RYLA or Rotary Youth leadership Awards, aimed at selecting people 18-23yrs who have already shown themselves to have good leadership potential, and takes them thru various trainings session to teach them the skills for good advanced leadership. They have great role models such as national sport team captains, senior polititions and business leaders come along as guest speakers.

One of the key messages they give is that you don't need to be in charge to be a leader. But if you are in charge, you will be so much better if you are a leader.

Lost count of the number of managers I have seen who forget to lead, too busy keeping their job instead of doing their job.

Nearly every time i have encountered someone with Command Presence, they have been a leader. As for me, whatever I am I just want to be a good one.
