I can agree with this post 101%. It is hard being a leader, because it can be looked at two ways:
1) you sit there and tell people what to do
2) you are not a leader; you just like power
In certain cultures, leadership is has such a negative connotation, that leaders don’t even have a chance to succeed before they are criticized.
Being president of 2 student organization on campus, as well as a business owner, criticism come a dime a dozen, especially during leadership change. I don’t think Barack Obama will ever hear the end of his criticism even after leaving office.
Bottom line: being a leader means you plan, manage, organize, and control (though I would replace control with influence) and if people do not agree, they just have to deal with the consequence, whether positive or negative.
Definitely enjoyed the read.
