Flemming wants to be chief of the sea otters one day, just like his Uncle Colum. Unfortunately, he thinks that being a chief means being strong, confident and really bossy. But being strong, confident and really bossy all the time is stressful! And it makes a little otter really tired. When he learns from his uncle that the most important quality in a leader is telling the truth, Flemming relaxes, and finds life is so much easier when you're just being yourself.
