The crux of leadership...

A coworker of mine just gave me this quote. It was relevant to me in many layers. Thought I would post it.

"The crux of leadership is the acceptance of responsibility—the
idea or fantasy that one can make a difference in the course of
events. This sense of personal involvement in life is not simply a
passive experience. It is an impelling urge to make a difference
and use oneself in effecting outcomes. The insecurity of leaders
is often related to the possibility that their actions in the end may
appear trivial."
