Challenging the Process

There are so many characteristics a true leader should have. Charisma is a big characteristic. Other characteristics include honesty (credibility), responsibility, and etc. because this list definitely goes on. It is also clear that the good and effective leaders (those who stand out from the rest) also challenge the process. This is why they go to new heights and are so successful. They think outside the box, challenge the process, and are successful in doing so. We marvel at these leaders today.

However, I think it's interesting how we were (at least once!) taught to be subordinates. When we were little, everyone was taught to do things a certain way. The ones who did not question those ways and followed those ways were looked favorably upon. Those who questioned (or maybe...challenged) the process were labeled as rebels and looked unfavorably upon. It's interesting how what was once a bad thing could end up as very good thing to have later in life.
