Paul Revere wasn't a lone hero with a horse and a loud voice, writes Signe Spencer. In fact, Revere was a matrix leader with deep connections to a range of patriot groups, allowing him to exert influence when it was most needed. "No business wants managers running through the halls shouting, 'The competition is coming.' But ... the leadership skills that the real Paul Revere possessed are in greater, and growing, demand," Spencer writes.
