Hi Annie,
This may be a two or three parter, lol. First let me address this please:
What's in a leader: (IMO)
Leaders come in all forms, those that can inspire rather than intimidate, those who can speak to you rather than at you!!!. Some leaders never get the message from a superior (or pulled aside to say you can't speak to people that way) about their bullish behavior. You see that kind of behavior doesn't impress or inspire anyone. I suspect this person has never had this benefit of the doubt, and if by chance they have and still behave in the bullish mentality then they'll never get it, and be doomed or never be taken seriously by anyone.
Why I think you're a leader:
You carefully craft and word your posts as an intellectual would, it's not overbearing or overstated. Your travels in life have molded you into the person you are today, somebody that inspires by mere words alone. So in my book you truly are a leader, and again, a leader doesn't have to be overbearing to get their point across. When a leader leaves a room you know it, I've had the pleasure to work for some awe inspiring people, and I took from all those leaders and made my own leadership style. Did I make mistakes?, hell yea!!!, but I learned, albeit the hard way, lol.

If I'm any sort of leader I think I am more like the Duke of Plaza Toro, who led his regiment from behind - he found it less exciting. And when away his regiment ran - his place was in the fore-o.
