I heard a group of people talking about their boss this week
and this is what they said:
“He is a caring and compassionate man.”
“He loves his family, he loves his staff and he thinks of
his staff like they are family.”
“He wakes up every day wanting to inspire people and do
great things”
“His people are so loyal. They would do anything to protect
him.”
“He provides the right balance of idealism and reality.”
“He personally takes on all of the weight of problems”
“He has a great sense of humor and keeps the work place
upbeat.”
“He is a consummate professional and seems to always be
prepared”
“He doesn’t want to disappoint people and his people really don’t
want to disappoint him.”
These comments almost sounds too good to be true. It is hard
being the leader. It is especially hard balancing the role of being a
cheerleader while also stoking the flames of excellence. Balancing the needs of
millennials and also the Gen X’ers can drive a leader “bonkers.”
I really like the first three comments – If you are a caring
and compassionate leader, who loves and treats his staff like family and you
wake up every day wanting to inspire and do great work…then I think the rest
falls into place.
What are the positive attributes about the person that leads
you?
