Let me clarify even further, are you able to work with?
Do you get what I am asking? No?
I am asking if you are able to work WITH others?
I'm not asking if you are able to direct, supervise, manage, or dictate others to get the job done.
I am asking if you can work with others to achieve a goal or complete a mission together?
Being a leader, requires you not only have the capability to direct and manage but the wherewithal to dive into the trenches and work with those you supervise and those you do not supervise.
As a leader, you will be required to collaborate and be collaborative! Fail to do that and you are nothing but a manager. There's no two ways around it you are what you are!
So put away your preconceived notions and get to work!
