"Be" The Impossible

 In swimming,

Or NASCAR,

 Or cycling - riding in the wake created by the leader is always the easiest path to follow.

I know this - everyone knows this.
But why do we always try to turn followers into leaders?
Maybe we should change the focus to turning leaders into better leaders.

Using the 'push' model isn't working.
The load is to heavy for one man, one group or one philosophy to carry.
Maybe Gordon Gecko was correct in his "Greed is good" soliloquy.
Maybe the masses do benefit from one person or group being better than the rest.
(As long as that person or group doesn't become oppressive.)
Maybe the masses need someone to take the lead in order to see which direction they should follow.
Maybe inspiration is as important as preparation.
