I find students respond much better to an instructor if they view them as leaders, not managers.

I used to think that you were either a micro-manager or a macro-manager. I didn't even really consider how leadership worked into the whole process as well. I find it hard to believe that a company can be truly successful with only managers (because they wouldn't have leaders to inspire vision) but then if they only had leaders (who would ensure the day-to-day activities were happening)? I think true success would be having both in the organization and at all levels.

I know a leader must be charismatic and vision motivated, but when does one in such a position take advice from his/her followers?
