One swallow doesn't make a summer.
I guess my students can give the meaning of the above proverb......
Proof, proof, proof and more proof.
This is what we need before we come to a conclusion.
Never deduce or perceive something without performing a series of tests... Don't be impressed easily. Neither should you expect something to happen in the future based on small or trivial signs.
At the very same time, when a person or your subordinate has taken the trouble to see you in order to bring up an issue, take some time to ponder upon her words. She must have something important, or at least , it is deemed important to her!
What I just learnt recently is that being a boss is not an easy matter, neither it is an uphill task, provided we take up the role, learn about leadership (fast! or asap!) and make mistakes, if necessary....but do it with sincerity, and not because you are not in your good mood.
I brought up an issue, in the hope that this issue would be digested accordingly.........However, to my surprise, (well, actually, why should I be surprised?), the issue or the situation was not digested properly. Instead it was thrown up with a pre-conceived idea, based on an observation which to me was half-digested or half-baked!
Firstly, I cannot accept a leader who does not like his territory. If you are the President of the United States, you MUST like your country and its citizens! Hence, never say that your country sucks!
Secondly, a leader must be broadminded.
Thirdly, a leader must never appear to be a partisan figure.
Lastly, a leader is able to motivate others.
A leader with a good stance will not swallow the bait. And should he make any mistake, he knows when to swallow his pride and correct his wrong............because nobody is perfect!
