Does the leader have to be nice?

15/04/2021

If we follow someone, is that because they are nice and try to be liked and accepted at all costs? Each of us needs acceptance, love, recognition, but if pleasing others becomes the basis of our sense of security, the basis of our self-esteem, it begins to manage us - and then we can become slaves of this situation.

The imperfect leader - distance (2)

We keep our distance, guard, shield, armor. Thus, we do not allow ourselves and the world to look inside us, because we fear misunderstanding, criticism, underestimation, as well as closeness, rejection, commitment - including emotional commitment. We may be avoiding responsibility or change - the reasons may vary. Maybe we do not know a different way of being, or it makes us feel safe. This is probably supposed to serve us, but at the same time it limits us. If we want to reduce our distance and stop protecting, we will have to find the strength to be our true self, instead of wasting energy not revealing who we are or what we truly need.

This is how we attract others - both in leadership and in everyday life.

Shall we work on the tree or on its shadow?

Good news for leaders: a weak or ineffective organization or company is not their fault. Bad news: it is their responsibility. An ordinary organization differs from an extraordinary one in its organizational culture. Depending on it, people either really want to work for that organization or they don't; they become attached to the organization or look for the first possible train in the opposite direction.

Will anything stay as it used to be? Will anything stay the old way?

We hear nothing will be the same. A new normal, a new reality - although no one can clearly define these fashionable terms - have entered our lives. A terrifying escalation of ideas, pace, action and reaction is taking place. We have an oversupply of change, shortness of breath and apnea. And chaos. Will we stay who we are? Or will the pressure of the world - changes and expectations, or the vision of rewards and of success - throw us off our path and out of our identity? Will we break our inner compass?
