“Stever Robbins (one of my favorite authors) wrote an article entitled The Pull Leadership Manifesto, in describing the difference between push and pull leadership he says: ‘Maybe it’s because we use a whacked-out definition of leadership. ‘Leader’ has become code for ‘rich guy with an impressive title who orders others around.’ But leading by giving orders left and right with no accountability doesn’t work. We’re living in a world of low loyalty, high mobility, and extreme uncertainty. “Push” leadership will push people right out the door. We need leaders who inspire others to follow, who engender loyalty. We need leaders who practice ‘pull’ leadership.’”
