That Different Kind of Leader

Version 1.0
Richard L. Hawes
There is that different kind of leader, who could be your friend, neighbor, father, or mother.
Who leads by pulling,
rather than by pushing.
Who leads by informing,
rather than by deceiving.
Who leads by respecting,
rather than by humiliating.
Who leads by promising,
rather than by threatening.
Who leads by influencing,
rather than by manipulating.
Who leads by reconciling,
rather than by antagonizing.
Who leads by example setting,
rather than by constantly criticizing.
Who leads by hoping,
rather than by despairing.
Who leads by loving,
rather than by hating.
There is that different kind of leader who inspires each person to be a better kind of person.
