Leadership – Mutual respect Have you ever known a leader focussed on the task and inspired people to achieve it? Or one, who continually pushed people to try harder, barked out orders and issued threats? Who would you rather work for? Both leaders are task focused, so what are the differences? How about a leader who is always friendly and nice to staff but lets them 'get away with murder' and another leader who is a friendly coach who expects, and gets, excellent results? Who would you prefer to work for? Both leaders are people focused, so what's the difference? It's the way a person does something that matters. Leaders who respect themselves as well as their followers are able to focus on the task when the need arises without getting people off-side. They are also able to focus on people without letting them forget who’s boss and what everyone is there to achieve. Balance your focus on people and on the task – your career tip I was working with a Brisbane Leader and he had lost respect from his team members. It takes a lot of work to regain respect once it has been lost. Often I ask my clients what sort of leader are you now and what sort of leader do you want to become? If you put others in front of yourself, you can become a good leader. |
