What helps distinguish leaders and managers is about control and, quite literally, how “hands-on” you are.
If you have ever learned to play the game of golf, the chances are that you grip the club tightly. After all this is basically holding onto a stick that you will swing through the air and hit a ball. Allowing the club to “follow-through’ – if you don’t hold on tight, the club might just go as far as the ball.
I appreciate that you may have never played golf, but you can liken this also
- to the tight grip of the reins of a horse
- to controlling your dog on a very short leash
- to holding on tight to your child’s hand
