Lead Your People
- Leading doesn't required a dictator
- A good leader learns the people so they know best how to lead them
- Having people own group decisions is better than blind obedience
- Leading is more than a democracy
- Not every decision should be a vote
- It's okay to to discuss options and still have the leader make the final call
A dictator makes the group feel like they're marching and a pure democracy makes the group feel like they are wandering. It should feel like a hike where you have the compass and map and you are leading the group where they need to go.
Love Your People
