One of the greatest shows around is Hell's Kitchen with Chef Gordon Ramsay. His Scorpionic sting has powerful transformative energies and he provokes crisis’s where people are pushed over their limit to reach bottom. He then fixes all links and builds everything back up again.
Being "everybodys friend" is not advisable if you are in management.
I could never work at a workplace where I had no friends and no one liked me. I'm not afraid of the cold though. Siding with the wrong people can also be crappy.
Management by respect is the only true way to go…
What you want to achieve with being a good leader is that, if you take a restaurant as example, when you come to the workplace everyone start cleaning up to make everything look good. You take an inspection tour and find that there is pee on the toilet seat. What do you do? You talk to the one responsible for keeping the toilets clean. Now you must ride that horse and say the right thing or the toilet will be dirty again and again.
A somewhat related song lyrics is Black Sabbaths "The Wizard":
"Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by"
The law of attraction....

To find piss on a seat once can be excused the employee responsible for the cleaning taught what needs to be done differently. If it then starts to happen regularly then it is a problem that needs to be dealt with.
What Morgan says about being adaptable is very true. I will add a good business is run on a script not much different than a movie. Know the script and your lines and become a good actor, improvise when necessary. I can’t see how the military is much different. The military of course would be on a stricter script, as there is loss of life at stake.
We cannot forget the chain of command as well, will you have an assistant manager?
Employees that are happy and respect their employer and their job will clean things on schedule not only because they know you are showing up. Of course spot inspections and secret shoppers in store and on the phone are key to knowing your business is being run the way to want it to. If you are already at the point people only clean when you are coming, I fear the employees are running the business not the owner or manager. If the owner didn’t fully teach the manager his ways then it’s the owners fault but if the manager knows the way the owner wants the business run and allows it to be run in a different manner then only he is to blame.
I was sure Morgan, Fist or M.T. was going to say something about Crowley and management, I was sure I was going to be left feeling ignorant on something I missed here.

The law of attraction....
Am I missing something here? I hold little belief in the law of attraction, beyond the laws of adhesion and cohesion.
“to walk through the world by ones self, you cant be
Protected... your trust is in whiskey and weed and
Black Sabbath - its goddamn electric
(chorus)
Don’t waste your time, embrace it
And then you’ll know yourself
The change in you is goddamn electric” ~ Pantera “Goddamn Electric”
In an electric model, magnetism plays a very important role. The laws of magnetism show opposites attract while like actually repels.
Get it?

Which leadership style do you think is better between "being everyone’s friend" and "management by fear"? Does it depend on the job that needs to be done?
If you start asking yourself such questions, perhaps managment and leading functions are simply not your piece of the cake.
When it comes to management you do not have the options of "management by fear" or "being everyone's friend". Both are extreme situations with more negative results then positive (on both long and short-term).
A succesfull leader/manager needs to understand and practice 2 concepts. The first one is anticipation, the art of making deals and to anticipate with other actions/persons/situations. You have to know WHAT you are doing, you have to know WHY you are doing it and how you are doing it (and with whom).
The anticipation is closely related with the second concept in management: know-how!
This aspect implies YOU having the necessary knowledge of the skills, personalia, combination of the different personalia for best results and general needed approach towards every individual personalia. It implies you having to know with whom you work with or the persons you want to work together with to obtain the best results (keeping social, economical and various other factors in mind which should all be weighed off).
You sometimes have to make hard descisions and let go of very skilled people whom are a nuiscance to others if you want to maintain a healthy sfere.
Management is hard if you are not a natural born leader. And, to be honest, I think you aren't one because you have to ask for guidance concerning this issue.
A last piece of advice; when you are profilating yourself as a leader don't even try to come across as elitistic and cut yourself off from your "employees"/ followers. Instead be with them, stay amidst them, talk with them.. After all you are but a human yourself, and it will only provide more chances to enhance the know-how and bounds between you and the others.
