If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams

So when one knows he is a leader?

There's no such thing as a "leader", there are just people who have abilities and knowledge that are appropriate for a leadership role under particular circumstances and conditions, and to whom other people allow a measure of authority.
Take someone you think of as "a good leader" from here and place him there, and he can become a useless, annoying piece of cr@p, because the people there don't think of him as a leader.
Scrap any self-improvement books that tell you otherwise.
Actually, just scrap any self-improvement books.
You are who you are. If that's not good enough for you, just check in to an insane asylum, and save everyone else a lot of bother in dealing with you.

Nope.
Someone who is convinced that trying to change himself in accordance with other people's ideas will improve his personality needs a slap, not encouragement, to knock those ideas right out of his head.
Trying to be someone you're not makes you a worse person, not a better one.

You seem you based your reply on this idea that you though about me, I know that I can't be anything other than what I'm really is.
By the way , I'm not a leader!

I wasn't commenting on you or your personality, I was answering your question. The "you" is used impersonally, in English.

That's fantastic! When I talk, people dream. When I teach, they read books, work on their iPhones, do more than sit and listen.
I guess that means I'm a leader. What a relief!

I prefer the Royal Marines take on leadership which is that the person with the most knowledge and skills in a 'situation' takes leadership irrespective of rank.

A friend sent me an email.
He asked if I felt bad because fellow programmers were 'swinging in the wind' over the Health Care website problems.
I told him that delivering a non-working site and getting paid millions of dollars is called "winning".

Programmers are like the Jedi. Full of midichlorians and connected through the force.
Don't try to deny it.

I love this sentence. It shows what went fubar, in a great way (On the other hand side, I'd guess that there were some more things going fubar...).

The thing that's FUBAR about it is the government had a hand in it!

That looks suspiciously like the fine print in a Microsoft EULA...
