Some people have a compulsion to be in charge. Putting everyone down to make you feel better than someone else is a horrible habit. No one wants to be led by a person who bullies. However, being a leader who helps and cares about people is one of the most noble things a person can do.

It's ok to want to be in charge, as long as you serve those you are leading. (Providing they want to be lead by you.)

It all starts with caring about others.

Step 2

Take action

Step 3
