November 14th 2007 chief- leader

There is a huge difference being a chief and being a leader. To my perspective, a chief is someone you have to follow, and a leader is someone you want to follow.

Hopefully many managers can be both.

Guess what I am? Both of course. I am a chief but also a leader, mostly leader I want to say.

The best managers can wear two hats at the same time in a lovely combination and outfit. Some really cant do it. Why not? My wild guesses are that they are so afraid to loose control. And so many managers are detailed managers which means that they need to be involved in every small little detail discussion to be in control.

To me that is not the best way to act and definately, the people in your team will loose motivation. Give trust to your team, your management team or whatever, can also be your children, and you will see what energy comes out.

Today, I had a great experience of really bad management in my company, and I truly hope that it was a one -time happening.

To me it is important to bring in values in your leadership, valubased leadership with a human perspective , Its all about people. Walk your Talk as a manager.

You will release a lot of good energy and motivation by that, I can promise.

To build up a good co-operation and relation can take a long time. But it takes only 30 seconds to destroy it. What a big loss and waist of human capital.
