 It will be good, if all the managers in xxx understand the following:

 A person may be "in control" because he has been appointed to a position. In that position he may have authority. But real leadership is more than having authority; it is more than having the technical training and following the proper procedures. Real leadership is being the person others will gladly and confidently follow. A real leader knows the difference between being the boss and being a leader.

1. The boss drives his workers; the leader coaches them.

2. The boss depends upon authority; the leader on goodwill.

3. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.

4. The boss says "I"; the leader, "we."

5. The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown.

At work, sometimes if there is a problem, it will waste time to find who is to blame (all of us are human who make mistakes). Better to find a solution together as a team.

Characteristics of a "Positional Leader"

1. Security is based on title, not talent.

2. This level is often gained by appointment.

3. People will not follow a positional leader beyond his stated authority.

4. Positional leaders have more difficulty working with volunteers, white collar workers, and younger people.
