HR QUOTE OF THE DAY(01-09-2012)-AVS's Desk

Leadership is not magnetic personality — that can just as well be a glib tongue.
It is not ‘making friends and influencing people’ — that is flattery.
Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
~Peter F. Drucker

Well said. we have more bosses than leaders now-a-days.

The news is good to read.
We do not find bossess encouraging nowadays.
They want to grow themselves and become rich and reach high positions.
But after reading this article, I feel bossess should encourage their juniors and subordinates as work gets completed when everyone works together.

Yes Vivekanand Sondekere, I do agree with your comments. But the Management Guru Peter Drucker had a perfect view on ideal bosses,which are rare nowadays. The quote applies to all in general. Thanks for sharing your nice views.
Have a nice week end.

Good one Mr AVS.
It is heartening to see a quote by the doyen of Modern Management.
Yes as pointed out by our fellow readers,
nowadays the bosses are mostly selfish.
Enhancing a reportee's vision, performance and building his personality
calls for devoting time besides showing concern.
Development of a subordinate often remains in paper
and a year end exercise during Performance Review.
Perhaps we can all make a difference.

Yes Leader are ladders for success & role models. With the political leaders & company bosses like the way we have, we can just say the word is in books like Dinosaur.
