You know you're not leading when ...
- You wait for someone to tell you what to do rather than taking the initiative yourself
- You spend too much time talking about how things should be different
- You blame the context, surroundings, or other people for your current situation
- You choose not to speak the truth in love
- You are more concerned about being cool or accepted than doing the right thing
- You seek consensus, rather than casting vision for a preferable future
- You aren't taking any significant risks
- You accept status quo as the way it's always been and always will be
- You start protecting your reputation instead of opening yourself up to opposition
- You sleep a little too sound
- You procrastinate to avoid making a tough call
- You talk to others about the problem rather than taking it to the person responsible
- You don't feel like your butt is on the line for anything significant
- You think what you say doesn't matter
- You ask for way too many opinions before taking action

Isn't it alright to just feel safe sometimes?
