Leadership-motivation-influence-power

How does leadership comes into a person? I don't quite agree it comes by practice. I think it comes by attitude. A leader have to be someone who is willing to accept comments, suggestions, ideas and help. A leader must have the attitude that everyone have their strength and weaknesses. That include his/her own.

So when a leader is willing is accept he has his weaknesses, he will take other people(his team)'s strength to compliment his weaknesses. Give it 20 people complimenting each other weaknesses, if there is nothing as perfect, at least this will be a good team.

Trust, motivate, influence and power. As a leader, obviously you definately cannot do everything on your own. Well, thats why you are called a leader, so your job is to lead, mostly. Not to work everything out yourself. When you can't trust your team, then you should consider your leadership have some problem. Bear in mind that if a person in your team, want to do something, he/she will push away all the obstacles him/herself without you even asking him/her to. So what makes him/her think those sacrifices are beneficial/appropriate/worth? It goes back to your leadership once again. Your motivation skills, influence and power.

Somebody are just born as a better leader. That directly means that person have an attitude of a leader. Modest and influencial.

What is a good leader when someone is trying to help you, giving you opinions/suggestions/ideas when you push everything away with "you think so easy ar?"

It is definately not easy at all to be a leader. You should accept the tough task, take it open heartedly and try to strive for the best. Not pushing away everything by not trying and saying that kind of sentence.

Frankly speaking, if I were being calculative, I will think I am not being appreciated. Why am I "kepoh-ing" when what I need to do is get the scope of my job done? In fact, my suggestion is meant to have let the team moving better. I don't get anything extra, BUT i let you pour cold water by suggesting to form a better team. Alright, next time i'll just get my job done...thats it. The rest is none of my business.

This is a bad team. I think there is better way of rejecting people's idea at the same time let the person know that his/her effort of suggesting is being appreciated.

Obviously this entry is pointing at somebody. Don't ask me who, maybe thats you!


A leader is a good name. But actually a leader is like a beggar to his/her team members. Especially when you don't pay them to do work. Your team members think you(leader) owe them something because they work for you willingly without getting anything in return. But team members will never think that the leader isn't paid either for all his/her efforts, including letting the leader have to bear the consequences when something goes wrong.

Leader is not easy to become. Normally good things people don't thank you or they won't think you are capable or good. But when bad things happened, everyone will start pointing their finger at you.
