Leaders must keep in touch with the welfare of the employees and with the outworking of the firms objectives. This calls for a leader to be sociable and courteous.

Dick Brown, a leader at EDS, had personal connections at all the levels of operation at the company. This helped in fostering a degree of passion and commitment among the people involved.
