There are at least 3 principles in leadership I have learned over the years:
1. Leadership is a journey. Take people to a whole new land. A new experience. Get them to
thinking that where they are right now is not good. Paint a bleak picture of today and a rosy picture of tomorrow, or what is out there. Of course your personality comes into play how you can do this, esp if obstacles are in the path. And in all of this, do it with all honesty and candor. People hate liars and phony characters.

2. Leadership is about movitation (the heart). Its not enough to give them a good reason (head), but even more important engage their emotions. Remember, people buy on emotion and justify on reason. Study the people you lead and understand what makes them tick, each one of them:)
3. Leadership is caring. People don't care what you say (or where you're taking them) if they don't see that you care. This is basic human interaction process. Be sincere. Don't care for the sake of caring, people can see it. Be genuine too. Voice out your emotion. If you're angry show it. If you like it praise. This way people see your vulnerability and will respect you for that.
