Why the title?

I like the way Webster defined a leader in referring to the printing business and the definition fits well here.

A series of dots. . . . .

to direct the reader to a specific point.  Let me repeat that to make sure you understand the point I’m making here. In the printing business, a “leader” is a term used to specify a series of dots which direct a reader to a specific point in an article or an advertisement. That is exactly what leadership in business is:  a series of brief moments (dots) to teach (direct) employees to achieve a specific goal (point).  Every day, you should have a series of dots (information) that you give to employees. Eventually those employees perform as you want them to and they will consistently achieve desired results for your business. Little by little each day while working side by side with each employee, you are coaching/teaching/directing/training. Sometimes it is skill training to improve their performance in that particular job. Sometimes it is your business philosophy or personal philosophy in how you conduct your business. No matter what the information is, through repetition and time, that person will give you better results because he/she knows exactly how you want her/him to perform and the exact results that you expect to achieve.
