The Kind of Leader You Are

     I've noticed that leaders fall, broadly speaking, into one of two categories: The first is characterized by utter self-confidence -- and extreme selflessness. These are people who understand the group's mission and try to surround themselves with the cohorts best suited to carry it out. They're unthreatened by group members whose abilities surpass their own.  Leaders in the second category are looking for people to lead, to dominate. They're threatened by anyone who compares favorably to them in intelligence or accomplishment. They fail eventually because the mission becomes secondary to their success as leader.
