As one who grew up on Command and Control leadership, I am not convinced that its 'Change and Thoughts' cousins really hold any weight as described in the article.  Surely leadership is a single attribute or quality that an individual either holds or does not. A good leader will always be thinking through the implications of his or her decisions and their how they effect/change those within the team. Whilst is important to lead in a decisive manner, the key is to take the team with you which may not be easy under difficult or hostile conditions; this is where the true leader thrives and earns his corn!  Thank you for the thought provoking article.
