Lead, not rule

Melvin Purvis, acted by Christian Bale in the movie Public Enemies said, "I'm afraid our "type" can't get the job done. Without qualified help, I'd have to resign this appointment. I am leading my men to slaughter."


The way I see it, leadership is about maintaining a delicate balance between pushing and guiding. We leaders mentor. We guide. We set examples. We make decisions. But whatever else we do, we do not merely command.
