As the world is primarily covered with water, being able to navigate not only by celestial bodies but also by the pull of the earth’s magnetism allowed civilizations to expand and flourish. With such guidance tools, the people who navigated exploration, trade, and even war used the compass to direct their actions to realize specific outcomes.

At least at this moment, no magic wand can digest and then regurgitate the data directly into productive, valuable packets.

It is not uncommon for the word “Leader” to be spoken on many occasions. Whether in a work setting or on the sports field, the word “Leader” is often used to capture an individual’s capabilities and contribution to a given set of circumstances. It is often used to distinguish or separate a given person to a status that sets them apart from others.  In some cases, it is well deserved, and in other cases, using the word is simply a fill-in-the-blank description.
