You'll be shocked to hear this: many leaders are leading us, but to the wrong way!
From my observations many leaders do not lead by example but instead lead by bad example. Some bad examples include:
- Tell people "Just do what I say" and do differently from what they say. A good example is punctuality
- Appoint people to do jobs and do not follow-up on their status. When things go wrong, they blame people
- Use abdication instead of delegation. They delegate the task and the responsibility as well!
- Play politics and focus on internal fighting instead of external fighting
- Never reward and punish adequately and fairly. Like dare not hire and promote people more capable than himself
- Focus on the process to the detriment of the outcome, like too overwhelmed with KPIs and not results
- 'Monstering' instead of motivating people
- Make people angry instead of making people hungry
- Control people instead of leading people
- Never read email attachments and ask innocent questions in the meeting
If you too want to be a better leader, now is the time...
