A leader is a lion, not a sheep.

Lion : RAWRRRR!!!!!! I'm a leader!!! XO

and i like this,

"An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep."

- Old Arab Proverb

hmmmm... i shall be the lion that looks after its sheeps........

"For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
- 1 Samuel 16:7

Indeed.. Leader is not about the appearance. It's not about how great, how talented or how knowledgable he is. Not even how rich he is. But a Heart of a Servant. Obedience towards Him who called us to LOVE Him and LOVE His creations - people.

"As the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
