Leadership?
True leaders are those who inspire their subordinates to greatness by their example. It is true that many seek to bring subordinates into compliance with their wishes by compelling certain behavior. They do this by virtue of their authority. This, however, is not leadership...it is autocratic rule and rarely is met with large success. Those who lead by example not only achieve their objectives, but they gain the respect of those they seek to influence!
