As we celebrate
Presidents’ Day, I find myself thinking about the role of the President as a
leader. The President of the United States is the official leader of our
country and the ultimate leader of our military. He is also referred to as the
leader of the free world. Those roles
are true and fitting. Responsibilities and power come with his elected position.
He is a leader by title. However, holding a position in title does not make one
a great leader of people. Regardless of
your political affiliation, I think that most will agree that we have had
presidents from both parties who were in fact great leaders. Furthermore, we have had even more who were
leaders in title and never mastered the art of truly leading people. Never
confuse a title with true quality leadership. Many title holders are great
leaders, some are not. On the other hand, many great leaders have no title at
all.
Happy Presidents’ Day!
