My favorite essay

Here is something that I have tacked to my cubicle.
It is a philosophy that the public sector should adopt...

People don't want to be managed.
They want to be led.
Whoever heard of a world manager?
World leader, yes.
Education leader.
Political leader.
Scout leader.
Community leader.
Labor leader.
Business leader.
They lead.
They don't manage.
The carrot always wins over the stick.
Ask your horse.
You can lead your horse to water,
but you can't manage him to drink.
If you want to manage somebody,
manage yourself.
Do that well
and you'll be ready to
stop managing.
And start
leading.

'nuff said.
