An Essential Quality of a Good Leader
By Michael Masterson
There are basically two ways to get the people who work for you to do what you want. You can bully them into it. Or you can lead them.
The bully's method is initially effective, because it takes advantage of his superior power. But everything changes with time -- including the balance of power within a company. So, ultimately, it fails.
The leader gets what he wants through inspiration and persuasion. He has to work harder at first, because his method depends on gradually enlisting the voluntary support of his people. But he sustains his influence long after the bullies have been beaten.
