The number one reason being a leader is like being a parent. Drumroll please…. When you are not a parent, you think you are the most important person in the world.

PS. If you are destined for any reason to never be a parent, the revelation in this post may never become profound. Dismissing it doesn’t make it false, it simple discards one of life’s brilliant phenomenon.
