In business, where so many horrible bosses exist making life miserable for anyone working under them; this is a refreshing & much needed dose of "Leadership 101". What makes it so appealing is the fact that it's based on simple common sense---a concept which has become anything but "simple" in recent years.

They know that delegating responsibility & empowering their people produces the best results. They understand that getting their people fully engaged in the task at hand is far more important than getting them whipped into shape, as if they were in boot camp.
In the end, the great leaders breed success with the right approach. In this atmosphere, nice guys most certainly finish first; not last.
