"Alex Mandossian Answers the In Search Of Heroes Quesiton 'What is your definition of heroism? '" by Ralph Zuanski
The definition of heroism to me is leading from behind. Let me give you some examples. A mother leads from behind. A quarterback leads from behind. A great general leads from behind. A President or a Prime Minister leads from behind. Gandhi led from behind. Jesus led from behind.
I don’t care what spiritual influence you’ve ever had in your life, whether its Mohamed, Confucius or anyone else, any person. The great leaders, the great heroes, who are leaders in my view, always lead from behind.
Sometimes their leadership quality is anonymous and sometimes not, but I believe that is the best definition. It is someone who leads from behind and does it for the sake of leadership and not for the sake of gaining notoriety.
