In the busy world of today, not much has changed really regarding the aspect of leadership and confidence leading always consequently to usual success and historic attributions. It has always been this way, actually, and if you have not heard of it being this way, then simply considers the fact with a side of logical thinking. I mean, just reason it out. Ever since the very beginning, human beings tended to be followers in their nature- we followed the animals that we hunted and the berries and fruits as they grew in the Old Stone Age when we had still been nomads. True, this is way back in the past, but the past and history in general is an extremely important aspect of our lives even today and just as a side notice, knowing little history can lead to major mistakes on your part, weather it is in your career, your experience or even, broadly stated: your life. Thus, think of it this way- with human beings being constant followers, we are easily comparable to a herd of sheep- perhaps not as mindless but still very much so despite our large brains and much more developed thinking. However, when at heart someone is a follower, he or she will have a certain obvious tendency to follow others- to follow those leaders who have an appeal and seem to be doing the right or appropriate things in most situations. How do we determine this leader? Well, there are many different characteristics and qualities that will go into a leader's description, but generally, human beings seek someone strong, confident, powerful and clever.Unfortunately, there are few people or humans in the world who were truly born as leaders. Most of us, as previously discussed already, are followers at heart, and it requires being someone truly special to become and stay a leader naturally. Who would be an example of a born natural leader? Well, though I'd hate to admit it, Hitler was one. Though he'd devastated many people and had not been a very nice friendly fellow, he was a natural people- he had a certain appealing strength that called for attention and made sure that people got attracted like moths to follow him. It is like a special presence- a special power that makes someone an alpha leader. However, I believe that every human being is born with a tiny potential for leadership. Even the most unconfident and meek-seeming person could potentially have some small quality that could take him or her to become and alpha. All it really takes is a bit of skill to utilize it correctly to your advantage. This is why I feel this book can be useful to some. However, you must be really confident to follow all instructions.
