These are just some of the many traits that make a successful leader,
but what if your leaders have the traits of a bully?
Effective leaders and managers get results working with people, but
th ere is a difference between the ‘boss’ and the leader. There are
those that when appointed as the manager appoint themselves as the
‘boss’, neglecting the fundamental function of their role to be a leader.
To be a truly effective leader or manager, one must make appropriate
use of their granted authority and earned power.
Being appointed to these roles does not automatically make the
manager or leader effective. Leaders earn the respect for the
authority from the people they supervise. It’s not a popularity contest,
tough decisions will need to be made.
“Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you
their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have
either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care.
Either case is a failure of leadership.”
General Colin Powell
Former United States Secretary of State

“two thirds of managers
believe that a lack of
management skills
is the major factor
contributing to bullying.”
