Wind - Bad Condition for Leaders to Have!

I just love this business anecdote which I read in Success magazine

The wind and the sun were having a conversation one day, which turned into a friendly competition about who was better at making things go their way. The wind said, "I am so strong and so good at what I do that I can blow the coat away from that man down on the ground"

So the wind blew hard, bending trees and rattling windows. But the stronger the wind, the more the man clutched his coat, wrapping it tightly around him.
The sun waited patiently for the windstorm to end and then took a turn . With a smile. the sun beamed down its warm rays until the man took off his coat voluntarily.

What the wind couldn't do with brute force the sun accomplished with warmth and charm.

Now if that isn't a wonderful anecodote for leadership, branding and social media then I don't know what is....

Always knew that having wind was a bad thing!!!
