Recently, I was working with my team and I often encourage creative ideas from every member in my team. But this time I had strong belief in what my idea was.
So I thought to be rational this time and took a review from my GURU about ‘the matter’ but later I realised that even he wanted me to implement the same idea ignoring possible losses only to gain faith from my team members now it was my turn so I decided not to go with an advice because I believe in “Leadership is not a popularity contest.”
I see many people doing this same mistake about Leadership. As a leader one has to concentrate on a common goal and sometimes lead to ignoring your team member’s views and taking a certain decision.
Whereas my GURU says People are more important, I should be concentrating on building a strong relationship with them.
I believe in explaining situations to my team and also taking decision even if thousands are against you because at that time I have explanation on what I did and why I thought it was right. In this kind of situation I can just hope for ‘sometimes later they will understand, I was thinking of their future.’’
what’s your view on this?
