How does leadership work?!

Alright....so here I am sitting on my bed. On a friday evening...8pm...what the fuck am I doing on my bed? Looks like the last couple of meals were pretty spicy...so I ain't really feeling like straying too far away from the 'blissful' toilet seat.
By the by...for whatever reason...the most peaceful time of my day is while I am on the 'throne', if I may call it that. Right? There's not a thing to be stressed out about. You read, you just think of nothing...no one cares! And no one disturbs you then. THAT I call B-L-I-S-S!
Not to wander away from the topic...(that reminds me...I gotta think about the 'throne' and scribble something in some day)...
So here I was on the toilet seat and reading this book..."Molloy's Live for Success". Tells you plain blank and straight...how successful people behave. No bullcrap about how to get successful, the 'attitude'...nothing! Just how they behave and carry themselves. Good read...yeah...
And then that gets me thinking...successful! And then I relate this attitude with people in my circle I consider 'successful'. One point to note amongst successful people is the way they carry themselves and how they handle power. I compare what I read with the people I know. Man! There sure is a correlation! You demand power! Yes sir!
Medusa (thats Shawna, the VP of sales and engineering at my company) calls us in today...department meeting. Now this femme has lately developed a reputation for really being a 'medusa'. I'd nicknamed her out of my love for her...lest did I know she would turn out to be one. She liked the name. I was in love. The normal atmosphere in the company is pretty cozy. Lately thats not true. So, Medusa calls us in and all of us are like...now what? She's like, "Let me keep this short and sweet." And Brian, in his usual hear-all-whisper goes, "Are we all fired?". Somehow Shawna didnt think that was funny. Anyways, so, she's like..."I hear all these clicks to minimize internet explorer window. No more useless surfing other than work related stuff." Gosh! Simply put...somehow what she said in those 5 mins...right from Michael, the intern to Bob, the 60 something balding designer shake their heads as if they were being reprimanded. Like a 13-year-old caught shizzling the nizzle! Now THATS power. Dunno if all this makes sense at all. But I sure saw the 'behaviour' I am talking about.
