Amazing but true.  Try it.  Get a length of chain, any length and any gauge.  Lay it out on a table, floor or ground. Now, pick up one end and try to push the chain across a surface.  

YEP!  Can't be done.  A simple lesson about life, work, friends, negotiations, leadership or just about anything you can think of.

Leadership is about bringing people along, willingly, behind your leadership.

Think of this every time you are about to push.  Sometimes you may have to, but most of the time... probably not.

Thoughts?
