- Among people you know, who seems to be a natural leader? my bestie
- When have you had leadership thrust upon you? I've been voluntold that I'm a committee chair at school
- Are you most effective as the person at the front of the line motivating others to come along, the behind-the-scenes make-sure-everything-gets-done second-in-command, the enthusiastic follower, or the devil’s advocate? I'm definitely in my wheelhouse as the behind-the-scenes make-sure-everything-gets-done second-in-command
- Where did you learn most of your leadership skills? I am actually a natural leader, they are inherently in me
- What is a most underrated leadership skill? self-awareness: just because you are the leader doesn't mean you have all the answers

It's so interesting that you posted this during this particular weekend. I'm reading the memoir of former Cubs manager Joe Maddon and he spends a lot of time on this. One thing he says he's learned is that an effective leader also needs to be a good follower. Everyone works for someone. That's what your #3 touches on, isn't it? Now that I'm thinking about it, I see that's my weakness.
