Leading by serving
Russia Insight has this LONG video about the new railroad bridge to Crimea. The highway bridge was completed last year.
This is mainly a rail fan video, only partly a Putin fan video. Since I'm both a rail fan and a Putin fan, I enjoy all of it!
Putin appears in the middle part of the clip. He's standing in the cab of the tram along with several officials involved in the construction. As usual, Putin leads by listening. He lets the officials and engineers describe the planning and technical details, never interrupting.
He undoubtedly knows more than they do about the planning and management, and doesn't need to know the tech details, but he understands ONE BIG THING. These men have accomplished a HUGE TASK, using and developing their SKILLS to the zenith. Their magnum opus SERVES RUSSIA. Now is their moment to show and tell. Putin, who also SERVES RUSSIA, wants to let them shine.
No US president in my lifetime came remotely close to leading by serving. No US President ever listens to workers or encourages them to display their skills. Putin does it all the time.
Among the publicly visible national leaders right now, only AMLO shares this unique way of leading.
