Declaration of Independence

Today we celebrate America's birthday, the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  What a precedence for leadership.  Those men went beyond the boundaries that had been set forth and developed a statement of independence.  There are plenty of books about the authors and their styles of leadership, but one can still wonder what made them take that step.  Not all of them were admired, and some considered them renegades.  But they did it any way.  This is an example of stepping out of the euphoric box.  When have I gone outside of the box and challenged the system?  How will my leadership be remembered?
