Great video. Makes me want to read his book and hear more. Great points that he makes about being a leader by example and by your actions. Making small contributions day to day as he suggested sure is a respectable way to choose to be a leader and if someday you are asked to perform in the manner he has, then you hope that your lifetime of choices and actions have readied you for the challenge. Inspiring, describes this hero for sure.
