Unit-6
Good Leaders create Leaders, whereas bosses doesn’t
Let’s
understand the context behind which the above difference has been derived.
When I say “A good Leaders create Leaders” it means the Leader identifies and
develops Leader who can take over the team or the organisation in his /her absence,
whereas when I Claim the boss doesn’t do that, I mean boss doesn’t focus on
developing the second line.
True Leaders
understands the need to develop the second line & they also feels they are
personally responsible for developing Leaders for the future, whereas bosses live
with an Attitude that He/she is indispensable and works for projecting self and
considers his tenure as glories days.
When Leaders thinks
about creating Leaders, they also know that they should be ready to elevate to
the new role and works towards developing their skills & knowledge required
for the new role, whereas the bosses settle in a comfort zone, which is not
only going to prevent the subordinates growth, it also stifles the
organisation’s growth.
When Leaders think
about developing Leaders they focus equally on both task and the people whereas
the bosses, focuses on task and hence they invest very less time in people
development.
Ask
yourself the following questions
1.
Have you identified the Leader under
you?
2.
Are you Nurturing your subordinates to
become Leaders?3. Have you identified the next role you are going to play in your life?
4. Are your existing leadership qualities sufficient enough to develop Leaders under you?
5. Are you focused more on the task, people or both?
By
answering the above question, you can understand whether there is a boss in you
who is in you who lives in a comfort zone or whether there is Leader in you who
is striving for leaving a legacy of creating Leaders to your organisation
Leaders
don’t create followers, they create more Leaders
