Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Saw this on someone's Facebook and thought I'd share: Good leadership involves responsibility to the welfare of the group, which means that some people will get angry at your actions and decisions. It's inevitable if you're honourable. Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity: You'll avoid the tough decisions, you'll avoid confronting the people who need to be confronted, and you'll avoid offering differential rewards based on differential performance because some people might get upset. Ironically, by procrastinating on the difficult choices, by trying not to get anyone mad, and by treating everyone equally "nicely" regardless of their contributions, you'll simply ensure that the only people you'll wind up angering are the most creative and productive people in the organization.

Runnriottt Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I think this applies past Daetrin as well, a great lead here on the FISD, but surrounded by a good staff as well. We are all leaders in one way or another in life, that is a good write up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many leaders here on FISD, some formally and some informal. I personally am inspired daily by the members of this community.
