Many people don't think of themselves as leaders, but the truth is we all lead all the time. Bosses lead employees, Ministers lead churches, Fathers and mothers lead children. Some lead with their talents, others with their personalities, still others lead with their experience. We all lead by instruction, by inspiration, and (for good or bad) by influence. As there are rules for sailing whether racing or cruising. Understanding some basic leadership rules will help you lead any organization or group of people and keep you "off the rocks" with those you are trying to lead.
