How Does a Real Leader Act?

Real leaders:

• Believe they can positively shape their lives and careers.
  
  
• Lead through their relationships with people, as opposed to their control over people.
  
  
• Collaborate rather than control.
  
  
• Persuade others to contribute, rather than order them to.
  
  
• Get others to follow them out of respect and commitment rather than fear and compliance.
