About This Quote

Actually, this quote was made by a salesperson from a car sales company. However, this sales person is actually correct. In the book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion," it states "Leadership is not about being a leader. A leader is simply someone who influences the people he manages." Unfortunately, many people fail to see their true potential as leaders if they don’t feel that they are a leader at all. They see themselves as a subordinate and therefore remain unable to take on bigger challenges and lead others.
