Law #4 of John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is the Law of Navigation, and the principle is simple: anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Leadership isn't just forward motion. It's knowing where you're headed, selling that destination to the people around you, and keeping everyone moving in one direction when the road gets hard... and it always gets hard.
