They see the big picture and help everyone else to see it too. They are the one the group looks up to and depends on. If the leader is lost almost always a new unlikely leader is bound to emerge. Leaders often do not know who they are until they are put in a position where they must lead for the success of

Tolkien tells us a story about Frodo Baggins who is ordered by Gandalf to destroy the powerful ring discovered
