Myths about being in a leadership position
Check out the top five myths explained by Dr. Elda Sinani - about life in a senior position; and have the opportunity to evaluate this function from a new perspective:
experience in government
Everyone obeys the boss
Motivating and inspiring subordinates is essential to exert influence on a team, and anyone who does not have this leadership ability can end up with very ‘rebellious’ employees.
Commanding is easier than executing
Promoting good work and generating results through the command of a team is not an easy task, although many believe it.
The boss is completely independent in his actions
Limitations and rules must be followed whatever his position within a company, and even the boss must act under a series of specific rules.
The relationship with colleagues does not change when you join the leadership
A promotion above the co-workers always affects, in one way or another, the relationship — and it is necessary to know how to position yourself when in a leadership position, seeking impartiality in decisions and maintaining a good relationship with subordinates.
Being a boss is the highlight of any career.
To reach a position of leadership is to start being evaluated under a new point of view by the organization; and it does not necessarily mean that a professional has reached the top of his career or potential.
