QOTD: Leadership is a choice, not a rank.

I have written and talked about the concept of true leadership and leadership in organizations.  My focus in my career is to build high functioning teams.  Today a colleague sent me this TED Talk video link that speaks to exactly what I mean when I talk about leadership and true team building.
