Imagine you’ve scheduled your job interview, only to get sick at the last moment. In today’s world, where many employers seem to think work comes before anything, your inclination may be to grit your teeth, get out of bed, and suffer through the commute and the conversation.

Being a manager means you’re in charge of a group of people and a business function. You assign tasks, you probably have financial goals and you are responsible for everything that happens. When things go wrong, the people up the chain will want to know what mistake you made and what you are going to do to fix it. It’s a lot of responsibility.

Have you ever called a “push-truck” to take your car to the mechanic? Probably not, and for good reason – in physics, when one object pushes another on a level surface the weight of the object pushes back and creates more friction. The result? More force has to be applied. Now, when you pull a heavy object, the pulling force is only working against the friction of the object itself, and therefore less force is needed; hence the “tow-truck.”. What does an understanding of pushing and pulling have to do with leading organizations? More than you might think. Driving isn’t inspiring. Here’s how.
