Successful leaders pull the chain toward goal achievement, not push which results in kinks and breaks. Lead by example with integrity, humility, trust, collaboration, intellectual authority, coaching and hard work. “We rise by lifting others”– Robert Ingersoll “Servant leadership is all about making the goals clear and then rolling your sleeves up and doing whatever it takes to help people win. In that situation, they don’t work for you; you work for them”— Ken Blanchard
