being a leader is no easy feat. a constructive feedback may be perceived as a personal attack to some. decisions made may be conceived as some form of a hindrance.

its not easy to be both a good guy and a good leader. more often than not, a leader that gets things done, do so with an iron-fist. i don’t have to name an iron-fist leader. just watching the movie, ‘the devil wears prada’, is enough to put two and two together.

ruthless leader=work being done

having said that, building a good rapport with your men, is also essential. good rapport goes beyond giving them incentives. when it comes to EQ, the ‘rabbit and carrot’ rule, may not work. well, it may work, for awhile. unfortunately, not on a long run.

 i think, every leader should practise the art of listening.

listening=i care

i care=similarities

similarities=good rapport

good rapport=things done efficiently

being a leader is not only about being able to lead a group of people to get a certain job done. but a leader also shoulders the burden to be their voice.

definitely a learning experience for me. kudos to them leaders out there.

moving on.

i’ve ticked most of my boxes and left with only the finals. counting down now. hee…
