Who is a leader?

Research from George Barna taken from barna.org:

Most Americans think of themselves as leaders (71%) and believe they are well-informed about current events (81%). They almost unanimously view themselves as independent thinkers (95%), and as loyal and reliable people (98%). They also say they are able to easily adapt to changes and a whopping four out of five people believe they are making a positive difference in the world. Two out of three adults noted that they like to be in control of situations.

Holy cow, 71% of Americans think of themselves as leaders? What are they leading, and where are they leading us?

Since 3/4 like to be in control of sitautions, maybe most of these 71% are leading themselves.

Sort of scary, huh? Maybe we need to train Americans how to be followers in order to help them become true 'followers' of Jesus.

Just a thought.
