Do unto others as you would unto yourself.

although what you like doesn't specifically work for everyone else.... so you need to figure out what works for other people.
Pretty much Jobs is one of the only examples of a leader being a dick and getting great results over time, although you burn a lot of people out. So if you're not jobs, don't be a dick.
- some people confuse attention to detail and high expectations with being a dick, others realize it's inspiring.monospaced

My 2c's:
See your subordinates as individuals...their individual strengths and weaknesses. What are their career goals and how can you help them get there? Great managers put their ego aside and leverage the strengths of their team. My way or the highway management doesn't work unless you happen to be a crazy visionary.
Above all, never throw your team under the bus. Ever.

People don't mind being told what to do, so long as you make them feel like they're working WITH you, not FOR you.
Get that right and you're golden.
