Pulling rank

Hierarchy is prevalent in almost every society present on Earth. Everyone knows that. Highly respected people do, too. But while they understand the necessity and inevitability of a hierarchy, they almost never abuse it. They almost never pull rank.

No one respects the boss who says things along the line, “I’m your rich boss and you’re supposed to do what I say just because I said so.”

Rather, great and respectable bosses or leaders inspire, motivate, teach, and help you reignite the fire within you that life might have extinguished. What they don’t do is ask you to follow their orders blindly.

Of course, at times they might have to pull rank. But that is the exception, not the rule.
