Ideally a leader earns the human AND professional respect of the wokforce.
Those having neither are limited to what their position provides - that ain't enough, but more than one in my professional lifetime made a career on that.
Those that gain only professional respect, have expertise in their field, but achieve sub-optimal results as managers of human issues.
Those with human respect only can actually be successful, as part of the respect is due to their ability to accept the superior expert knowledge of others, and they may have the quality to use the (human) resources to the best of their abilities.
"Everybody's darling" has no function in that.
That said (outside competition, of course), your contributions still helped me in making up my mind on a related issue I have on hand. The thesis of "we are all a team of friends", "Boss be primus inter pares" is not totally off the agenda of consultants.
The task of naming the next topic is herewith assigned to - Rincewind - for giving a concise, direct and founded answer to the question.
P.S.: spam contributions are IMHO best handled by ignoring, not by quoting, questioning or commenting them.
