Xiaomi cofounder Bin Lin knows how to lead by example. On a day the company launched it's latest phone, packages were to go within hours of orders coming in. With thousands of deliveries in the pipeline, the pressure was on the assembly line, which was falling short of hands. Lin, apparently, jumped in and personally packed several of the phones to ensure timely shipments. The first phone was delivered to a buyer within a record time of two hours from the flash sale closing.

Wisdom in leadership lies in not only choosing when to be a hands-on leader, but also when to be hands-off.
