Leadership is also about one s power to reward and punish in a nondiscriminatory manner. To have a certain style or persona that ensures people will support your implementation of goals for the success of the organization. However, at the end of the day, you will never get there without fi rst leading oneself to do the right thing in all of your endeavors.
