To truly lead, you need to developyour own personal philosophy that
you can convey to others in yourpublic speaking, actions and
projects.

Consider what values, ideals andcauses are important to you. Don’t
simply rely on the ideology ofothers. You need to be an innovator
and an individual with your ownideas and views. If you aren’t, you
will never effect real change.

This is even the case for business.Apple, for example, would have
never come into prominencewithout the individualistic vision
and leadership style of Steve Jobs.
