One Concept of Leadership

September 14th, 2009

One Concept of Leadership PhotoIn general, good leaders are apparently made; it means that they are not born to be good leaders. When there are desires and willpowers in you, then you can become an effective leader. Good leaders could develop through a long-term process of self-learning, training, education, and experience.
There are certain things you must be, know, and, do especially to inspire your workers into higher levels of teamwork. These things do not naturally come by themselves, but are apparently acquired through continuity of study and work. Good leaders continually study and work to order to improve their leadership skills; they are NOT resting on their efforts.

Let us define leadership. Leadership is a certain process by which a person influences others to get an objective accomplished and manages as well as directs an organization in such a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. A leader carries out this process by applying his leadership attributes such as values, character, ethics, knowledge, beliefs, and skills. Although your position as a supervisor, manager or others gives you the authority to accomplish certain duties and objectives in the organization, this power does not certainly make you a leader, it just lets you to be the boss. And of course a boss is not always a good leader. Leadership is surely different; it makes the followers want to achieve high goals, rather than simply bossing people around.

Rose Flowers to Love

September 11th, 2009

Rose Flowers to Love PhotoYou know what I like to do in my free time? Watering my plants and flowers, especially my roses, is my favorite hobby. My flowers are more than the plantation in my small flat so I have to put them all outside at the small balcony. While watering them, I talk to them especially about my job problem in the office as if they could listen to me. I seem to be a weird person, but I like it. I always consider that my flowers and plants could be them who understand my feeling and are capable of listening to me and my stories without having to give me their opinion or solution. Sometime, after talking to them, I could find any related ways out for my problems all of sudden.
This evening, after finishing my job in the office, I bought some more beautiful roses from a florist down the block. Rose is indeed my favorite because this flower has excellent fragrance and perfect coloring; not only red, there are also some in pink, purple, yellow and some others. I have these roses with the colors here. They are the flowers to love for me. I guess you need to see them yourselves once in a while..
I wonder where to put this new bunch of roses because all spaces in the balcony are already full. There is not even any slight gap to put. I guess I must put this new and fresh roses right by my bed. They will accompany me taking a rest during the night.
Well, you will think that it should be even ridiculous, but it is me, and my hobby.
