From the Paper:

"It was with the military idea that the traditional concept of business leadership started in the U.S. The olden industrial business like the railways espoused a hierarchy system of management leadership. The person at the control had the final say and was autocratic. Commands were issued from the apex level through the hierarchy to be executed unquestionably. Moreover, the authority was backed by societal strength, hence only a handful could oppose. Truly, particularly in the olden days, the leader had the power of ending the life of a soldier who refused to abide him and this resulted in obedience. Violators set the precedence of how nasty the outcome of infringement was. It is surprising that the legendary Bill Gates does not possess the inspirational wherewithal or strength of Attila the Hun.
