You may have found this blog through the Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program web page. Just like the quote above, leadership does not just happen. Although many of the images of leadership that we bring up in our minds eye are likely to be more Vince Lombardi like, a hard-charging and winning football coach, instead of leaders like George Washington and Ben Franklin, both leaders who came to understand the opportunity that humility affords.
