Sam Gembel became a leader without even knowing it. As a landscaping foreman, Sam grew frustrated when the people he trained kept getting transferred to different work crews. One day, Sam realized that many of these people were being promoted to positions of leadership, and often ended up in charge of those crews. When Sam asked his boss about this, he was told that this was because Sam was a leader who made leaders.
