leadership

Jon and I were watching the movie "The Core" last night. It's not the most compelling movie in the world, but we were looking for random entertainment. There's a scene where Col. Robert Iverson (Bruce Greenwood) tells a very ambitious Maj. Rebecca Childs (Hilary Swank) a few things about leadership. You see she craves to be the one in control. She wants to be in the driver's seat. She thinks she can do it better. She has skills but lacks humility, and respect and concern for others.

Here's what her Colonel said:

"Being a leader isn't about ability, it's about responsibility."

"You're used to being a winner. You're not really a leader until you've lost."
