![Page 6: Other People’s Shoes](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816921550346895de051e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Thoughts on leadership from Robert Greenleaf to support the definition
• If the word leader is a mere synonym for boss it has no meaning at all
• Many occupy positions of great authority and contribute little to leadership
• No one should be made a supervisor to whom the workers do not go for guidance and council before they are supervisors
• A leader is one who goes out ahead and shows the way

Team Managers
• Team Managers are the most important level of leadership
• Team Managers are at the interface between the management hierarchy and the front line staff
• Greenleaf on Team Managers – they were the spot where the buck stops. The elaborate executive hierarchy above them thought their great thoughts about what ought to be done. What actually gets done is what these fellows were able [and to some extent] willing to do
![Page 10: Other People’s Shoes](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816921550346895de051e7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
