Overview: Leaders, even the exceptional and most famous ones, are not near-perfect beings who accomplished notable deeds simply by allowing a little of their fairy dust to rub off on others. Leaders are neither born nor made. Leaders emerge. And they emerge because of one critical, driving factor: purpose. That critical factor of purpose then meets two other key factors, circumstance and opportunity. And that union gives birth to leaders. True leaders come forth to serve a purpose, with which they personally identify and have a driving passion to serve. In stepping forward to pursue their purpose, leaders, in turn, help to fuel the efforts of other people who also share an allegiance (perhaps undiscovered, unrecognized, and untapped) to that same purpose. Leadership, then, might be described as emerging when a capable person with a sense of purpose meets circumstances bearing the seeds of opportunity.
