To me true leadership is all about reaching people not to get what you want from them but to earn their respect thru my own actions and examples. There are so many great leaders that you have mentioned through out history and they all have one thing in common and that is the love and respect for all of those people who they have influenced. If you want to influence anyone even in your own personal life family and friends then it must start with you. We as people all speak the same universal truth though most of us are not in touch with it. Great leaders have found this truth and live by it every day. The human spirit knows this truth and when we find others who have found it and practice it then the walls can come down and we will begin to listen, trust, respect, yes and even be influenced by others. ____ Jay____ Thu, 6 Aug 2009 15:57:02 +0000 http://michaelhyatt.com/2007/09/leadership-control-vs-influence.html#IDComment29736177
