Being a leader, exhibiting leadership qualities
happens not in text book situations, classrooms
but at actual work spots- coaching & guiding the key
getting out of the box and aiming for competencies
two to three levels above your current level....
Growth not a choice, but a mandatory requirement
exposure to various areas, competency management
laced with affability and humility
will enable taking others along- a skill
so essential for a leader!
If in HR, go back to basics
always ponder on "How can I uplift people
do something for them ? "
get rid of the urge to be "Peacocks in suits"
the thought that you are "God's gift to mankind"
avoid being manipulative with false promises!
"Credibility" is the key word
for HR and the management
many IR issues stem from
lack of communication
not sharing organizational truths
Let the child in you be alive and kicking
be accessible, not take yourself too seriously
be open to constructive criticism
pursue hobbies, satisfy inner needs
it helps you expand, meet life challenges!
