  Prime example of leading through influence rather than authority Recommended reading is Jean Monnet's book, Memoirs

  De Gaulle said about Monnet: "ce petit financier à la solde des Américains" https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Monnet#cite_ref-28 https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Monnet#cite_ref-28
