"Ordering" not as in "commanding", but as in "arranging tasks in an organised way". One most glaring sign of the lack of leadership in an organisation is people don't know or don't care what they should be doing. They repeat the same routines without question. They continue doing what they are familiar with. They discuss and procrastinate, because no one has the will to make a decision and proceed. They wait for someone else to do it. To be an effective leader, you have to make those decisions, and be ready to take the blame. It is when everybody wants to avoid blame that organisations get stuck in a rut.
