"Trying to lead men from behind makes you a driver and not a leader. It is easier to lead men just as it is easier to pull a log chain. You cannot push a log chain and you cannot push troops. The troops will keep running back to you for instructions - really from fear. A leader has to be ahead of his men." - George Patton
Once again, Patton stresses the importance of leading by example. Telling people what to do only goes so far.
