Pushmepullyou Mode

This mythical creature in Dr Doolittle provides a metaphor for how many leaders feel about  leadership. They are in Push Mode for themselves, driving the agenda and encountering  resistance of their ‘followers’ who have to be pulled, some suggest dragged kicking and  screaming, in the chosen direction.

No wonder many leaders are exhausted. Many drive themselves to an early grave or opt-out entirely and fall into Drift Mode.
