Exerpt from Chapter One of Engaged for Growth!The only thing worse than being a bad leader, is being a bad leader with no desire to be better. I always say that ego is the greatest enemy of leadership because it is your ego that will interfere with your ability to improve. Your ego tells you, “I don’t need to be better” but the ego gives you a road you can run down endlessly and takes you far from the truth. Ego dominated managers are actually cowards who are filled with fear and who are unwilling to face the truth about themselves. Ego is a defence mechanism and as a defence mechanism, ego overcompensates for feelings of ineptitude by trying to keep others from looking good. Ego dominated bosses therefore, tend to do things like withhold information, devalue employees, compete with employees, dismiss input from employees, etc. The list of behaviours could go on forever, but the source is always the same: fear.
“People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader works in the open and the boss in covert. The leader leads and the boss drives.”
- Theodore Roosevelt “The first duty of a leader is optimism. How does your subordinate feel after meeting with you? Does he feel uplifted? If not, you are not a leader”.- Field Marshall Montgomery A boss creates fear, a leader, confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting.”- Russell H. Ewing, Author “There is no such thing as constructive criticism.”- Dale Carnegie
“I not only use all the brains that I have, but all I can borrow.”- Woodrow Wilson “Don’t tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.”George S. Patton
