The point is to become yourself . . .

“. . . the point is not to become a leader.  The point is to become yourself, to use yourself completely – all your skills, gifts and energies – in order to make your vision manifest.  You must withhold nothing.  You must, in sum, become the person you started out to be, and to enjoy the process of becoming.”

~Warren Bennis in On Becoming a Leader
