Plants and dollars can be managed, but the people expect leadership. Leadership means clearing the way for others. Leaders open themselves to criticism. Leaders face the challenge of resistance to change. Leaders show unqualified acceptance toward the people who follow them.
Leaders talk little.
Leading is a responsibility. Without followers, there are no leaders. Leaders are more persistent than others. Great leaders inspire their followers to high levels of achievement by showing how their work contributes to worthwhile ends. Leaders empower themselves to get results through others.
