Leadership gives people a sense of confidence. The essential function of leadership is the manipulation of culture. Effective leadership grows with communication in depth. Leadership, like naked power wielding, is inseparable from followers' needs and goals. Leadership requires the ability to touch others' feelings.
Leaders provide a clear sense of direction.
The leader is primarily an expert in the promotion and protection of values. Leadership raises people's personalities beyond normal limitations. To be a leader you have to be at one with the people you lead. Leaders manage themselves and lead others. The measure of a leader is not in the number of servants but the number served.
