I totally agree. Some managers 'lead' through threats of termination. It does work quite well but only for a short while. Eventually, the employee becomes angry and does one of two things:
-retaliates by spreading discord and/or cheating the company
-gets to the place where they don't care and either quit or say "go ahead and fire me".

A good leader shows they care about their people and the people will go after H3ll with a water pistol if they ask them to.
