The Art of Leading Without Control
<p>The worst thing you can do as a leader, husband or parent is to try to direct someone head-on. It rarely works. Every human soul craves freedom, the freedom to self-select into whatever they give themselves to. You crush someone's spirit when you INSTRUCT, DIRECT or PRESCRIBE to them.</p><p>Think about the times you were forced to do something at school, at home, or at work. you complied, but you did not give your full mental and emotional faculties. You did it just to finish the task. In that mode, creativity and ingenuity stay locked up, and what comes out is far less than what you could have made.</p><p>The legendary leader does not control, he inspires. He leads by example, sparks enthusiasm, and waits with patience. He understands the danger of direct instruction and instead aligns the work with the other's natural inclinations, interests and passions.</p><p>To lead another is to be deeply creative. To take a human being seriously is to create the space where they can freely step into a shared vision.<br/></p>
