The document discusses leadership lessons that can be learned from the Slinky toy. It states that the Slinky teaches that a leader needs a vision to pull others forward, and must balance pulling with patience as the back end of an organization is harder to move. A leader's response to those who lag behind is important for team cohesion. A leader must find the motivating factor or "string" that moves each individual and organization in order to effectively pull them along through vision.
