from An Aeroplane-Part-1
Working under a good Leader is like having a Safe
and a Pleasant journey. The journey can be short or long, but the safety is the
foremost concern followed by smooth take-off and landing. Let us understand how
a Leader can apply the principles of flight journey in leading the team in the
right direction and help them reach the new heights.
Take-Off: The Initial comfort starts from a smooth take off,
when a Leader takes over a Team or new member joins a team, it is the Leader
who should provide them the comfort by
understanding their expectations, stating the vision and laying the guidelines for working with each other. This kind
of initiatives will reduce the perceptual gap and help the Leader to have a committed team
On Board Services: In a flight it is the air-hostess, who
takes care of these service. In the workplace, the Leaders should introduce
their team members to the departments
who will play a vital role in serving their subordinates needs ranging
from Handling their Facilities, Safety, Security etc, to ensure their
subordinates reaches the right person in time for any of their administrative
needs
Act of Balancing: In a flight it is the wings that helps in
balancing, similarly in the workplace the Leader should balance their
subordinates intellectual and emotional needs, such an act will help the
employee stay engaged and enjoy a smooth journey within the organisation
Leadership is Journey towards a Vision where Leader is the Pilot
