Leadership isn't always about the Dos & Don'ts.
Sometimes it's simply about having another perspective.
Welcome any comments or feedback.
PS: kept the deck rather colloquial. If any part of it doesn't make sense, let me know.
2. sound familiar to anyone?
• knows everything about anything
• first to run down your ideas
• famous quotes include: “I have DECADES
of experience under my belt”
“I have consumed
more salt than You
did with rice!”(it’s an Asian thing)
“you were still drinking
from the milk bottle
when I was doing your job!”
while these messages are supposed to instill respect and secure that individual's leadership position,
most times… the messages that gets conjured up (if any at all)…

High cholesterol

4. so does experience = good leaders?
here’s a thought:
When a person have had ‘experienced’, especially time and time again at a specific activity (like work), what the
person gained, which we loosely termed as ‘experience’, is simply
another perspective.
Thus an experienced person (not leader, we will get there) will come with multiple perspectives; Good,
Bad, dated or otherwise, regardless.
But experienced leaders would come with, not just multiple perspectives, gained through the years, but
also with their hearts and eyes opened, wanting to get more perspectives.
And true leaders would never fear, in trading their perspectives, for new, relevant or even those that are
unheard of; as that is what fuels them,
the need for a different perspective.
5. so does experience = good leaders?
Of course it does.
But it doesn’t come with
- a large waist
- high cholesterol
- or whatever that is, which I still can’t figure out what the point was.
