Our top-down pyramid style of management is a very old concept borrowed from centuries of war and monarchies.

Leadership: The skill of influencing people to work enthusiastically toward goals identified as being for the common good.

Authority: The skill of getting people to willingly do your will, because of your personal influence.

Who then is the greatest leader? The one who has served the most.

Power: The ability to force or coerce someone to do your will, even if they would choose not to, because of your position or your might.

There is great joy in leading with authority, which is serving others by meeting their legitimate needs.

How stunning are the changes which age makes in a man while he sleeps!

The intensity with which young people live demands that they "blank out" as often as possible.
