Leadership Is Not A Rank Or A Position, It Is A Choice - A Choice To Look After The Person To The Left Of Us & The Person To The Right Of Us.

If Our Leaders Are To Enjoy The Trappings Of Their Position In The Hierarchy, Then We Expect Them To Offer Us Protection. The Problem Is, For Many Of The Overpaid Leaders, We Know That They Took The Money And Perks And Didn’t Offer Protection To Their People. In Some Cases, They Even Sacrificed Their People To Protect Or Boost Their Own Interests. This Is What So Viscerally Offends Us. We Only Accuse Them Of Greed And Excess When We Feel They Have Violated The Very Definition Of What It Means To Be A Leader.

Wal-mart's Size And Scale Is So Vast They Literally Have The Ability To Change The Face Of The Entire Country. If Wal-mart Were To Make A Decision Tomorrow To Refuse To Sell A Single Product Made With Partially Hydrogenated Oils, For Example, We'd Probably See Rates From Heart Disease Decline A Few Years Later. That's How Powerful Wal-mart Is.

Walt Disney Had A Very Clear Sense Of Why. He Was About Happiness. Remember When Disney Was Founded, It Was During War. People Said That Life Sucked. And He Said, "no."

His Cause Grew And People Committed Themselves To Helping Him Grow The Disney Why And It Was Hugely Successful.
