I've always illustrated leadership for would-be management candidates by placing a length of string on my desk, then ask the candidate to push the string forward from behind and then pull the string forward from the front. Then ask the question; "Which method is easier?" The answer is always the same: it's easier to move forward be leading from the front, than pushing from behind. Great stuff; thanks for sharing!

The thing that is interesting to me is how very very long this list is but I have had many bosses who completely fit the bill - being and doing all of this is really not that hard but is all so very important! Thank you. Spot on!
