Summary

This quote emphasizes the difference between forceful aggression and effective leadership. Leading by intimidation or physical aggression is equated to assault, which implies using violence to exert control. It suggests that true leadership involves guiding, inspiring, and empowering others rather than resorting to forceful means. Leaders should strive to earn respect, gain trust, and motivate their team through positive actions, guidance, and support, rather than using fear or violence to assert authority.
