Leaders - where are the good ones?

[Solomon1]

Afternoon everyone

 

Have you noticed that the culture of any business/organisation, is set by the leaders?

 

That the language they use, how they treat other people - is simply copied by everyone else?

 

Examples are set from the TOP, down.

 

Kindness, generosity, patience, tolerance - does YOUR boss have these traits?

 

We seem to be led by the malice of the all-pervasive scum-press. Teaching people to be intolerant and quick to judge.

 

The bull crap that is black friday being a prime example!

 

Is there any one out there teaching anything good??

 

And even though I KNOW there are (Corbyn, Sanders, Benedict XVI) - why do they get overshadowed by prize nut jobs like Trump?? Has he just bribed his way to power, we wonder?

 

Thoughts for a Sunday afternoon....

 

Love

As Always

Many that have the desire to get to the top, are greedy and selfish people. Not many top politicians are not VERY wealthy.

There are as equal numbers if not more of all-pervasive followers of leaders.they tend to oil one another.

Yes, it does seem to be that anyone

 

Holding ANY position of power ANYWHERE

 

Suddenly activates the reptilian part of their brains!

I'm not so sure

 

People follow for sure

 

But it's the leaders that set the tone of the march

A friend is an electrician and works for a small family firm.

 

They have been treated with Christmas goodwill and kindness. Each staff member also received a personalised hand written letter thanking them for all their hard work and a Christmas bonus. They were also presented with a lovely buffet lunch and work was forgotten for the afternoon.

 

This was in Australia.

 

Does this still happen here? Serious question.

It really tests the mettle, one really has to control the urge to become dictatorial and self-indulgent, so strength of character and the need for respect would play a large part in the qualities needed for leadership.

Wow. THIS is what I'm talking about Anna!

 

I have NEVER experienced such appreciation in my working life

 

What is wrong with the UK

 

Why is everyone so pessimistic?

 

Is it the weather??

What qualities make you so

[Solution]

I am a terrible leader. I am fortunate enough to be in charge of collecting tea money and purchasing and control of all tea/coffee and biscuit related business. I treat each person with the contempt they deserve, as every week I hear the same old line........."I'm skint this week Bill, could I pay twice next week?" Etc etc.

For me to consider myself as a good leader of the sweet treat department, I need to learn more tolerance towards those tight wads that plead poverty, but still require coconut rings at break time.
