HANDLING SUBORDINATES

Leadership is all about how well a leader allows his subordinates to grow under his guidance.

Handling Subordinates

A good leader does not let his subordinates feel their inferiority.

The subordinates should be aware of are the positive qualities of the leader & which, in fact, had led to the position that he is in.

Handling SubordinatesSome oxymoron of leadership An oxymoron is a figure of speech in English, where two apparently opposing words are used together to create the effect of emphasis. (Boss or a Leader)

Treating subordinates with respect & affection is in no way a compromise on leadership qualities.

Handling SubordinatesSympathy & EmpathyDo not use sympathy as a ploy to achieve your end; it will eventually show.

Sympathy & Empathy must be genuine.Genuineness can achieve much more than a well planned out strategy can.

Handling SubordinatesPower within powerKnow that single person can not know or do everything.

Delegate the tasks.Get done the task.

Handling Subordinates

It does not hurt to give credit & power where it is due (without) hurting your position) and you have taught one chapter on the true colours of leader.
