Leaders make things happen. Things happen when people move into actions. When actions are taken, things change. When better actions are taken things change for the better. Leaders don’t harbour problems and challenges for too long. They work on problems and overcome challenges with their inherent strengths. It is only mentally lazy people who sleep together with their problems and wake up together with them unsolved.
Nothing changes until your actions change them. The size of your hips may change; the strength of your muscles may also change, but your life will never change if you don’t act!
In taking actions for the success of the team, leaders know who to assign to which task and why. They assign duties to capable people and delegate competent staffs for jobs.
In order for the organization to achieve its goals, the leader must put his team members at relevant posts. They must study the skills and talents of their staffs and avoid giving responsibilities to people who cannot handle them. To lead better, stop talking and start walking. Move and make things happen.
- When you do nothing, you get nothing.
- If you aren’t moving, you haven’t dreamt yet. You only had nightmares.
- Don’t watch things to happen; they won’t.
No matter how slow you walk, you are doing better than the person who does not walk at all. Lao Tzu said; “an ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.” After making the plans and setting your goals, don’t wait for a whistle to blow before you make a move. Start immediately. That’s the spirit of leadership.
