Leadership lessons from the Game of Thrones

I know a lot of people love The Game of Thrones, I put it more in the good category, but it is certainly entertaining.   My day to day life in the workforce doesn't involve dragons or swords, but I a line by King Robb caught my attention as very applicable to leadership. In the second season episode, "The Prince of Winterfell", he is walking with Lady Talisa and speaking of his father Ned Stark.  Through the discussion, it is very apparent that he very much admired his father.  He says that his father said being a lord is like being a father.     This registered with me as applicable to leadership generally.  Obviously, it is possible to take this analogy too far, but the thought occurred to me that real leadership requires a more involved relationship.  As a father, I am willing to put my children first, to care for them, to teach them, to encourage them, and obviously always want the best for them.  As a leader, I think I should be willing to do the same things as well.
