Do you Think you are a Leader?

-
If you talk about a Manager, there is a risk that he can convert workload into a nightmare of stress for his subordinates. But a Leader gets into setting the pace for his entire team with proper evaluation and whether there is pressure exceeding the limits.

So you must think about it if you want to retain your staff and receive respect from them.
You can adapt following points to help you get started in becoming a Leader:
  • Set the pace of work: If you are always in panic due to workload, your team would be into it too. So think about it and keep yourself away from panic.
  • Learn to identify if it's Real or Imagined Work Pressure. Imagined Pressure is when you impose unnecessary pressure on you to meet your deadlines. You need to think about some unnecessary thoughts that are arising in your mind as a hindrance and wasting your time. This happens mostly when managers are weak at anticipating the workload and plan accordingly to accomplishment deadlines.
  • Are you habitual of shifting from Task A to Task B and then get back to Task A all of the sudden? - This is because you have never set task expectations as to what is expected from the team and what priority is defined for different tasks. You and your subordinate must set clear expectations rather than simply saying; "Do it by coming Monday".
  • Do you like to gossip about each of your team members and decide things for them accordingly? - If yes, then you're on board with only Managers; but not Leaders. The solution is by leading with example. Do you expect your team to be kind to customers? - You will need to do so first.

To conclude, Managers sit back and keep barking; while Leaders can't sleep if they can't help or collaborate with their team.

Collaborative Leadership, if Done Correctly, can Greatly Enhance Corporate Culture

-
Subordinates are expected to follow instructions. This can be changed to collaborative leadership. If done correctly, a great improvement can occur in corporate culture. Collaborative Leadership requires the support of a leader towards people bottom in hierarchy. This means that there is existence of leader's guidance and direction; but, at the same time, employees receive empowerment to make decisions at their levels. The leader stays ready to provide support to people down there in the hierarchy rather than seeing the employee wander here and there to seek help from other colleagues. This approach has been observed to have brought a great impact on company culture; hence employee retention.

Stop Fooling People in the Name of Motivational Speech

-
Different types of Public Speakers / Trainers have emerged over the time. But, truly speaking, there are very few who do this for both Monetary Benefit and Social Service combined. Let's begin first with what types of Training exist. 1. Technical Competency Training (Hard Skills). 2. Behavioral Competency Training (Soft Skills). 3. Motivational Training. As far as first two training types are concerned, these two skill categories merely talk about improving the technical side of job and the behavioral side of job such as Leadership, Decision Making, Relationship Management etc. But where is a problem? - Problem is actually where Young People have come into existence as Motivational Speakers and Coach. So what should be the age and why linking and limiting this training to age? - The point of view is to educate youngsters who have come up as Motivational Coach and they try to make hundreds of people start believing in them for no reason. Now why i

Customers Can Ruin Your Business and HR's Role as Savior

-
HR's role is very pivotal during difficult times that organisations face in strong competition and where Customers appear to be very strong critics. Customers are the main business deciders. Your strategic plan ought to cover each and every aspect of Identifying and Satisfying Customers' Needs. But this is not it. Earlier, in the absence of social media, customers could impact an organisation (at maximum) by relinquishing the product,  which used to give some breath to the organization to get up from stumbling. Now, things have literally changed when customers do not only relinquish the product; but take revenge of being given a bad product. They express their heart out on social media, which brings an immediate impact. However, this is also not that extreme in front of some 'Naughty Customers' who always appear complaining even without organisation's fault. This term 'Naughty Customers' has recently emerged when some organisations came across a sit
