Leadership with a small "L"

This weeks lesson material focused on leadership.  There were many great articles and videos discussing how to be a great leader but the one that stood out tome the most was Elder Bednar's talk about being a small "L" leader.  It is so easy to be the kind of boss that barks orders and hands out praise and punishment in equal measure but Elder Bednar presented an much more Christ-like leadership style that I think, if used by business men in general, would lead to an industrial revolution.  The simple concept of leading by example.  The idea that you do not ask anyone to do something you yourself have not already done.  Sharing you time, talents, and resources to improve not only yourself but those around you.  It is such a foreign concept to the business environment and relegated to the religious circles that businesses miss out on the chance to change, maybe not the whole world but, the entire dynamic of their company and quite possible those companies they associate with.  How much better would not only the employees perform but those in decision making rolls if we were small "L" leaders.
