Leadership != Boss
I think I got the logic statement correct where leadership does not equal the boss. According to this article, leaders can be anywhere in your organization without any formal, official titles but still have an impact within the organization.
The reality is that 99 percent of all leadership occurs not from the top but from the middle of an organization. You can learn to develop your influence from wherever you are in the organization.

I totally agree, but what sucks is that the leaders do not get paid the most money in the company. Or they do not get proper credit after kick-starting something and right when the idea is beginning to take off, another person comes in and takes ocer. After a while the leaders get a little pissed off that Mr. Manager/Mr. Boss is getting big bucks off of your blood, sweat and ideas.

Sounds like you’re talking from personal experience.
