The BEST kind of leadership

I was reading one of the blogs that I follow and came across a post on what types of leadership were the best types.  It talked about how we follow strong leaders and look to them for guidence.  It also pointed out that the best kind of leadership was the unnecessary kind.  Meaning that when people step up when they are needed not when they are told to step up.  They lead at all times not when they are trying to impress a big group but when they feel that they are needed and do the right thing and help.  Often times we do our best when we are being watched by someone of importance but in reality we should always do our best because if we don't we are letting ourselves down and not reaching the full potential.  We need to be leaders at all times not just when we think it will benifit us.  We need to get rid of the fear of failure and think of the positive and how we can help make a change.  We need to be strong leaders that aren't afraid.
