Substance over form.
You look at the bigger picture in all that you do.
A good leader can make you feel accomplished even when the task assigned to you can be relatively minute in comparison to your leader. A good leader can teach you by helping you think in directions you don't expect to see. Good leader help you and make you less miserable in what you do.
With very striking differences, a terrible leader can very easily make you feel miserable. That terrible leader can ruin you and put you in doubt all the time. You cannot feel any sense of accomplishment. Instead, every moment with the terrible leader feels like you are closer to death because instead of solving a problem together, you know you are to be blamed sooner or later. Almost like your hands are tied to your back, feeling completely helpless while someone slowly lowers you into a tub filled with water submerging you in it.
It is suffocating. When you work with The Terrible Leader, you are constantly on survival mode.
So what is the bigger picture? I believe before you judge a person incompetent, you should first look at who is leading. While it may not be always the leader's fault, but it mostly is. When your team fails, it is the reflection of how your leader has lead. When your team work below the target, it reflects how great of a leader you are.
So while you are still at the bottom of the food chain, please remember this..
What you do is a direct reflection of your leader. You cannot expect a pineapple tree to grow bananas.
Similarly as we are getting closer to make the biggest decision of this country, know this, your leader can either make you or break you. It is either you are on survival mode or you can be in an environment where symbiosis is possible.
You don't always get a choice as to who should lead you. But in one week time, you can and if you feel the need to sit on the fence, that is alright. But when you find yourself following the terrible leader, you will feel suffocated and that agony could be paralyzing because by then, you wont get to choose.
You can still decide.
And if I may quote the hunger games and their sufferings, "May the odds ever be in your favour"
See you on 9th May.
