Leadership
You do not lead by hitting people over the head. That's assault, not leadership - Dwight D. Eisenhower
If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully. - Thomas Fuller

A classic from London
Parvinder and Habib are beggars. They beg in different areas of London .
Habib begs just as long as Parvinder but only collects £2 to £3 every day.
Parvinder brings home a suitcase FULL of £10 notes, drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house and has a lot of money to spend..
Habib says to Parvinder 'I work just as long and hard as you do but how do you bring home a suitcase full of £10 notes every day?'
Parvinder says, 'Look at your sign, what does it say'?
Habib's sign reads 'I have no work, a wife and 6 kids to support'.
Parvinder says 'No wonder you only get £2- £3
Habib says... 'So what does your sign say'?
Parvinder shows Habib his sign...
It reads:

'I only need another £10 to move back to Pakistan '.
In Australia, it could be India.
In India, it could be Bangladesh.
In the USA, it could be Iraq or Afghanistan or Mexico.
