Leadership Is An Art

I needed to share this today - a reminder that attempting to manage or lead or influence people by force - it just never works for long, and in the process, it breaks down your team members and creates unneeded stress and chaos. And yet, I see such behavior taking place again and again, sometimes at organizations I come across in community involvement activities here in my area; other times I've observed these practices with client companies, all with the same outcome; creation of resentment, burnout, lack of cohesiveness between employees, and the not-nearly-enough-discussed subject of employees feeling unappreciated.
