Gnosis – “Successful Leadership is by Influence & not by Authority”

Leadership isn’t a one-way street. A successful Leadership professional doesn’t give orders and then sit back and expect them to be followed blindly. That’s not leadership; it’s totalitarianism. Even if such top-down authority is adhered to, it will crush any creative thinking and innovation.
