Leadership
As a leader, he practised all-round leadership -- from policy making, planning, implementing, reviewing, to hands-on involvement in details e.g. drawing logos, road signs and maps. His leadership also manifested the behaviour of a father--demanding respect and obedience from his children (followers). However, as the latter grew up, such fatherly behaviour could be viewed as a threat to their freedom to excel. But is this not the same kind of respect and obedience we ask from our children? And the same kind of disappointment when our children rebel against us? And the same kind of joy and forgiveness when they come back to us? To me, he was fatherly but never dictator-like, since he often listened to others' suggestions and adopted them. Most importantly, he forgave and asked for forgiveness.
