Many people just want to be told what to do. That’s not a judgment or a bad thing. It’s just a fact.
If you’re a listener, be careful who you’re listening to. A hack that faux-leaders have used since the dawn of time is to be the one who talks the loudest. Julius Caesar, Napoleon, and Hitler gained power partly because they were the loudest talkers.
On the flip side, you can stand out by being the one who does the telling.
Use that power wisely.
