What is a Leader? Is it someone on top of an organizational table, or ornamentation on a collar? I had spent years in a campus security department, and then a younger guy with a lot of experience came in. His police background overshadowed mine, and felt I was being marginalized. Eventually I realized that in my own way, I could make a difference, and was really a blessing. I didn't get the headaches of administrative problems and related issues.
I felt when people seemed happy to see me, it was because they felt safe in my presence. When someone called me for help, they knew I would be there to assist them and make the situation right. Maybe I wasn't a leader among my peers, but I felt I was among the people who looked to me for protection, and didn't need to prove anything. Maybe that is what really matters the most.
