When things become desperate, we can easily find ourselves waiting for a greater leader to rescue us. Through all of this, we totally miss the bigger question: What are we, collectively, able to create?
Because of our obsessions with how leaders behave and with the interactions of leaders and followers, we forget that, in its essence, leadership is about learning how to shape the future. Leadership exists when people are no longer victims of circumstances but participate in creating new circumstances.
--Peter Senge, introduction to Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership, by Joseph Jaworski
