Leading is not about having power over people. It's about serving people. You're not fit to lead if you are not willing to serve. Leading up is how you influence and respond to your boss, supervisor, or authority figure. Leading down is how you influence and respond to others under your authority. 

If you are a boss, manager, or authority figure, you will find that your position may give you power to control, but trust will give you permission to lead. Find out how you can excel at two-way leadership.
