to lovely humans who were excluded from invitations, left behind when they tied their shoes, forced to walk in the grass when the sidewalk was full, spoken over when you tried to contribute, whispered about or laughed at, given the side eye when you tried to fit in... you are so worthy of love and I’m sorry people have convinced you otherwise. I promise that your people are out there - people who will see the side of you others ignore, people who share weird inside jokes with you, give you affectionate nicknames and go to museums or roadtrips with you and fulfil whatever idea of friendship you’ve always fantasized about. even if you feel like an empty shell of your former self because you’ve hidden yourself away due to shame, this exterior will melt when you accept yourself or let people in and you’ll realize there was nothing wrong with you all along. you have interesting things to say, you deserve new chances and beginnings, your heart is probably made of gold because you know what it’s like to be left out in the cold, and you have so much to give. you are so worthy and someone’s idea of a friend too, and I hope you receive lots of hugs in the future from yourself and others because you’re so lovable.
Please keep Jamaica, Haiti, the Bahamas, & Cuba in your prayers as Hurricane Matthew passes through.
TWO ASEXUALS SITTING IN A TREE
S-I-T-T-I-N-G
We are all leaders all the time, sometimes you might just not aware of it. Let us to find out what capability you got!
The 6 Goleman Leadership Styles:
Visionary Leader:
You can find this type of leader most in multinational corporations. They are capable to predict what is going to happen in the future. "Come with me" is their logo. They are self-confidence, empathy, high-level IQ.
The best scenario adopts:
When you are leading a group with a great goal, it needs you to have a pair of “bird-eyes".
Example:
Martin Luther King Jr.
2.Coaching Leader
As coaches in a basketball team, they are always trying to help the team to discover the most potential opportunity. "Try this" is their logo. They are also empathy and also have the ability of self-awareness.
The best scenario adopts:
When the team which you are in has lost aims, you can step out. Acting hard but also empathy to your teammates.
Example:
Red Holzman
3. Affiliative Leader
If you think yourself are incredible kindly in most of time, then you are might the type of affiliative leader. "People come first" is their logos. They always thinking about how to deal with people in a better way that reduces conflicts. The psychologist might take this.
The best scenario adopts:
You are a peace-lover, this leadership functions when the environment is harmony no crisis.
Example:
Dalai Lama
4. Democratic Leader
As it says democratic, it means popular. The people choose them to run certain businesses, they are representatives. You can find which people are capable without knowing they well.
Barack Obama is an example of a democratic leader.
5. Pace-setting Leader
Challengers as the pace-setting leader. They seem always energetic, never need to take a breath. And also, they motivate the team as always.
Lee Kuan Yew is a Pacesetting leader.
Commanding Leader
Commander. They got the well-established rule in their minds. High-level of capability of executive, always calm and thoughtful. You might find they are not easy to approach even you know they for a while.
Winston Churchill is an example of a Commanding leader.
Which type of leader would you choose for scenario 1?
Rather than checking everyone’s KPIs and detailed progress or requesting them to show a weekly update on their action plans, I go around the table and ask if they have any topics for the meeting. Each person names any topics that they want to be handled at the meeting. The topics could be important news, information sharing, an unresolved problem, a customer complaint, a logistical issue, or pretty much anything.This way, the entire group does not sit idle while a topic for two individuals is discussed in front of the others. In one hour, we have shared vital information in the team, had the opportunity to ask for input, agreed on additional meetings, etc.
So, why do I see this as a democratic leadership example? Here are a few reasons:
Everyone gets their opportunity to bring up what is important to them
We quickly decide on the next steps by any team member suggesting a natural next step in a consensus direction. Rather than voting, we ask if anyone is against or has a better idea.
All team members get a rough understanding of what is going on in all areas of the organization and get the same information, which builds transparency
Although speedy and efficient, anyone can halt the process if they disagree on something
Everyone has the opportunity to ask questions or come with ideas, even if it is outside of their specialization or area of control.
Scenario 2:
It may seem reasonable to argue that it’s best to focus on the strengths of a team and use them to the organization’s advantage. However, the weaknesses of a team can threaten everything an organization has built. This makes it very important for these weaknesses to be addressed.
() leader are able to quickly identify a team member’s weakness and implement a plan to help that team member transform that weakness into a strength or at least create awareness of the weakness so consequences can be limited. All team members have weaknesses. It’s all about identifying those weaknesses quickly and helping each team member improve in the best way possible.
You are very welcome to comment below to share with us what leader you are.
Freaks and Geeks...why did it have to end so soon?
I hate people who force their lifestyle onto others...especially those who do not have a say...
