Its amazing how whenever a leader is appointed to his position he has all these ideas to do all these things and all these changes that are to be brought about..... And when their term gets over, they still talk about all the ideas that they still have and as if they have not performed their duty etc.
One thing that I learnt from the managing committee that I was a part of for the last year was simple - concentrate on the one thing that is important for your group. Fulfill your duty to achieve that objective and feel happy about completing it at the end of the year. Ideas will always be popping out and the best place to brainstorm their potential is over an informal setting. People are more open about things.

"You have to know how to manipulate others to get them to do what you want."
That is why the masses don't trust those in power- leaders, politicians, giant corporates, etc etc.
You can be a good leader without trying to control others.
The problem arises when the conviction you have in a particular process of improvement is not shared by the others. If reasoning is used instead of manipulation, the conviction is no longer a restraint, but a goal that others will want you to achieve. If reasoning is not open, it accounts towards manipulation. If, later, the goal is not achievable then accepting your inability is better than to forge ahead with manipulation.
Well said.
