Tony and Alan Jackson discuss the concept of "likeability" when it comes to those in leadership positions.  Some people say that for a leader to be effective, they must also be liked by their employees.  Others may argue that being liked should not impact the strength of a leader, since sometimes being a leader is doing things that employees may not "like".  Where do the Jackson Boys fall on this issue?  And, for those leaders that wish to be "liked" by their employees, what are some things they can start doing?
