Rights and Counter-rights of Leaders

This is one lesson I always share in the beginning of our Annual Leadership Programs.

As a Leader, you gain the rights to:
  1. Receive a bit of glamour
  2. Be admired
  3. Be recognized as special
  4. Special Training
  5. Have special attention
  6. Access Top Mgmt
  7. Manage your career
  8. Influence others
  9. Draw the picture
  10. Choose the timing
  11. Choose the team
  12. Choose the standards

You lose the rights to:

  1. Complain to others
  2. Complain in public
  3. Complain downline
  4. Lose your temper
  5. Show-off
  6. Be alone
  7. Be Calculative
  8. Be like “normal” people
  9. Be off-time
  10. Have a bad attitude
  11. Eat first
  12. Do what you enjoy
  13. Think of yourself first
  14. Avoid problems
  15. Avoid responsibility
  16. Transfer problems
  17. Transfer responsibility
  18. Be irritating
  19. Backstab
  20. Talk nonsense
  21. Disobey orders
  22. Have you own time
  23. Remain the same
  24. Ignore feedback
  25. Be inconsistent
  26. Claim everything (e.g. travelling claims, handphone claims, toll claims)
  27. Work less than others
  28. Be undisciplined
  29. Break rules
  30. Avoid participation
  31. Avoid communication
  32. Rescue yourself first
  33. Blame others


    So… do you still want Leadership?
