In [J. Graph Theory 13 (1989) 749—762], McCuaig and Shepherd gave an upper bound of the domination number for connected graphs with minimum degree at least two. In this paper, we propose a simple strategy which, together with the McCuaig-Shepherd theorem, gives a sharp upper bound of the domination number via the number of leaves. We also apply the same strategy to other domination-like invariants, and find a relationship between such invariants and the number of leaves.
