If there is any advice that cannot be overemphasized, it is the importance of leading on an individual basis, dealing with people where and as they are, as opposed to relying on some “flavor of the month” theory you may have read about. Even worse, you could make it all about you. No one is saying you cannot apply logic and/or rules, but it is imperative that if you have a desire to be a good leader, and not simply a dictator, you lead with your heart, as much as you rule with your head.
