Are we creating obedient followers or Leaders?

In an organization, some managers micromanage. They eventually increase frustration and irritation among their subordinates, pushing them to the point of quitting.

Some managers manage their subordinates in ways that fulfil the organisation’s goals, but their subordinates don’t feel connected to the system. They think used merely as a means to achieve those goals.

Then there are the few managers who lead their subordinates toward the organization’s goals while also helping them identify their strengths and weaknesses. These managers help them utilize their strengths, overcome their weaknesses, kindle their passion, and nurture them toward becoming future leaders.

Many organizations survive due to micromanagement, but very few thrive. Thriving comes from leadership qualities that are instilled in every layer of the organization.

If you are a manager, an entrepreneur, or a parent, read the above once again. Reflect on how you are dealing with your subordinates or children. You will realize whether you are producing obedient followers or influential leaders.

Remember, we are human beings who wish to enjoy the freedom we are born with, not to become slaves to a system.

For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
