Do You Want to Become a Happy and Fulfilled Leader

I read in Forbes.com that according to surveys, “People leave managers, not companies. ”

 

Is there some truth to that?

 

When I was working in an international bank, I had a boss who was so focused on numbers.
I vividly remembered that day. We were launching a new product. Since my colleague and I had the highest number of sales for the previous month, we were tasked to pioneer the launch of a new product.  Our job was to “test” the market whether they are ready to buy the product or not. We had to call our customers and offer them our newest product.

 

That day, I worked like never before. I cut my lunch break short and I even did forego my morning and afternoon breaks so I could be more productive. I was so focused in what I was doing I hardly even talked to my seatmate.

 

At the end of day, I was so tired, drained, and sad. Why? Because despite my efforts, I didn’t make a single sale.

 

My boss  gave me a disappointed look, frowned at me and said, “You better make a sale.”

 

That’s it. She didn’t recognize my efforts. She didn’t offer any words of encouragement. I felt stripped off my dignity and worth as a person. I felt my boss only saw me as a mere factor of production. Ouch!

 

That day, I felt so low and demotivated.

 

That was just one of the many days when my boss emphasized through her words and actions that all she cared about was numbers. She didn’t care whether we did our best. She didn’t care whether we were stressed. She didn’t show any empathy nor did she ask how she could help us.

 

I couldn’t count the days when I told myself, “I can do any job in this bank as long as she is not the boss.” (I didn’t hate my boss for it. I  felt though that becoming a good leader is a skill each of us must work on.)

 

Indeed, there is some truth to the statement “People leave managers, not companies. ” As an employee for nine long years, I can attest to that.

 

Being a good leader, not just a good manager, is so crucial when you want to succeed in your career, your business, or even your family life.

What Makes a Good Leader?

 

Before we answer what makes a good leader, let’s define first what is a leader.

 

According to John Maxwell, “Leadership is influence.”

 

Therefore, a leader is someone who influences.

 

Are you a leader? Using John Maxwell’s definition of a leader, I believe that all of us are leaders — whether you’re a manager or a subordinate of a manager.

 

You’re a leader whether you’re a Vice President of a company or a regular employee of that company.

 

You’re a leader whether you’re a blogger, a speaker, a parent, a friend. Why? Because you have the ability to influence.

 

But what makes a good leader?

 

What Makes a Good Leader?

 

In my nine years as an employee, I was also blessed to be under some bosses who were great leaders.

 

One of them was so passionate about what he does. Let’s call him Passionate Peter. He rubbed off his passion on us. Whenever he’s in the area, you could feel his presence and the positive energy he brings.

 

Another leader was great at encouraging her subordinates. Let’s call her Encouraging Em.

 

With Passionate Peter and Encouraging Em as my leaders, I knew I was in good hands. I trusted them and I looked up to them. I knew that no matter how challenging the job was, having them as my leaders definitely made a huge positive difference.

 

Guess what?! Passionate Peter and Encouraging Em are happy and fulfilled leaders!
