"The leadership instinct you were born with is the backbone. You develop the funny bone and the wishbone that go with it." - Elaine Agather
I really like this quote because it indicates two things. First, that leadership is something you are born with. Secondly, leadership is something that you must develop.
It is an age old debate on whether leadership is something you are born with. I feel pretty strongly that you are not born a leader, but you are born with traits that are necessary for a leader to have. I think backbone could definitely be one of those traits. It is necessary for a leader to stand up for what they believe and be willing to be different and make their own decisions.
Secondly, I think it is very important to develop your leadership skills. I think the funny bone indicates that a leader must have a soft side. They need to be able to laugh at themselves and make mistakes. They need to be able to relate to the people they are leading. The wishbone I think indicates a vision. Leaders need to see and hope for the future. They cannot be stuck looking at things at how they are, they need to look into the future and develop a vision and goals.
In conclusion, I think this is a cute and creative quote that has some good in depth meaning.
