" Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do,
Than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore.
Dream.
Discover. "
- Mark Twain
It is a peculiar feeling to lead.
One realises people watch you, judge you by how you speak, what you say, when you smile, how you dress. A friend suggested that leadership at work is a facade you put up, a persona you inhabit for the time you need to appear authoritative.
But I now feel that leadership is a full time occupation. One does not gain respect by being dishonest, by having double standards, by being false. For me, work is a personal thing.
Is it wrong to try to exemplify the values I admire in others?
I do feel differently, but not because I feel better than everyone else.
I don't know, I'll let you know once I've put a finger on the buzz in my system.
