They may own their own business, if they choose not to work for another.

They may be a leader in a civic group, a local political group, a hobby group.

There are millions of small groups organized for various purposes where leadership is needed and desired.

Men with a handshake like a sweaty marshmallow ... 16 years working for a large corporation so I had plenty of handshaking experience.
