   Suppose a leader could be leading theirselves? But if no one is following they really aren’t leading. Pied Piper is an example of a bad leader. Good at getting followers, bad at leading others for goodness.

   Interesting question, Frank. Here are my two cents on this issue…
   
   Formal authority can make one a manager regardless of whether one has followers.
   
   Formal authority does not make one a leader. Leaders attract followers by walking their talking, earning the respect of others, setting high standards for themselves, driving themselves forward, and inspiring others. As it relates to leaders, the followers are not necessarily direct reports. A leader’s followers can be superiors, peers, subordinates, or even people in other organizations.
   

Because I value your thoughtful opinions, I encourage you to add them.
