How does anyone lead other intelligent human beings without being approachable? The question for ourselves as leaders (when we find ourselves in a leadership role ... and most aduts in area of life are in a eadership role with someone else) is, "How do I conceptualize my work?"
If encouraging others -young or old- in thoughtful exploration of ideas/processes, is an integral part of our work, then we indeed need to practice reasonable degrees of aproachability ...set up structures, times, places for dialogue and exploration. Unless we are in the military where direct orders are the name of the game always -without exploration, translation, discussion, or collaboration- then communications usually need clarification and some dialogue to effectively take root and flourish. This means collaboration...approachability matters.
