Thought Tweet #872

by Rick Baker
On Nov 19, 2013

Thought Tweet #872 Great leaders don't drive people; great leaders fuel the drive in people.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Weak leaders have little choice but to force others to do what they are told to do.

Great leaders have a spectrum of choices: their choices range from forcing people to do what they are told to do to inspiring people to want to do what is of value and of mutual benefit. Great leaders favour fuelling the drive in other people. However, great leaders will draw clear lines when that is required. These lines reflect the great leaders' Values and Master Rules.

And - great leaders lead by example. They exhibit Integrity.
