           let me give an example with a story  on how tactfulness  helps in  leadership,
    Once there were two  political leader friends on a small village.And they carried a development project  of roads in that village.They were graveling and  clearing the drainage  system.One of the local resident of village protested against  their works who was a professional drunkard.The leaders were  frustrated  by his action so he start  to scold  that  drunkard.The drunkard used his mumbled sound to scold them back and start to attack them.One of the two leaders  start scolding without even thinking  what he was speaking.He spoke what it came to his mind.The drunkard and his family now became more aggresive  to his words.
 The other  leader  choosed the appropriate environment,appropriate words and sentences  to tackle with the drunkard,as though the drunkard was aggressive with  this leader too.But he doesn't loose his temper and try convincing that drunkard.When he was not successful on that  he threatened him too.There was a situation of clash.Later the drunkards family convinced him not to speak a word.The situation was cooled down some time later and the second leader asked for water with the  drunkard and start to chat normally.he preserved his relation but the second leader was unable to preserve the relation and now they have became the perfect enemy.
     Note:  the leader asking for water and  the chat after the situation was  cooled down  was the tactful  act performed by  him so that he was able to preserve his relation but the second couldn't.
