John F. Kennedy used to tell the story of when he met with Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey before the Democratic National Convention. Kennedy said, “I had a dream last night. God himself was anointing me and He said, “You shall be the next president.”
Hubert Humphrey piped in, “I also had a dream that God anointed me as the next president.”
“Funny,” said Lyndon, “I don’t remember doing that.”
It seems as though being a big leader and having a big ego walk hand-in-hand.
