Those appointed or elected to key positions or pivotal roles within an organized structure need to always keep in mind that their position solely exists for reasons of functionality and efficiency, and is in no way a platform for self grandeur and lording.

Sideline the ego. Lead by example. Abandon any sense of authority over others. Maintain open lines of communication. Show constant recognition and appreciation that all members of the organization are of equal importance.

Lao Tzu had some good thoughts regarding an approach to leadership as well.

I particularly appreciate that you avoided the "politics of punishment" - but instead were kind (and much else).
