FLYING-BOUNCING LEADER
In the past, there was a forest, the one who cut the trees and cleared the road was called the manager, and the one who told where to go was called the leader.
There are many kinds of leadership today; “Interactive, transformative, liberating, charismatic, visionary, ethical, transitional, intersectional, servant, democratic, autocratic, flying, escapist, hopping, bouncing, etc.” Lots of nonsense bullshit.
They put a keyword into the definitions of these concepts and derive a leadership model. E.g; It becomes “a leader who cares about the opinions of his team is a democratic leader”.
“Well, what do you think about that subject, friends?” A person who says that becomes a democratic leader.
There is no need to define different models of being a leader. Pass it on guys!
There are basically 3–4 factors in leadership; Let’s list them:
First of all, the person taking the lead must be accepted as trustworthy by the team members. A person who cannot gain the trust of the team should go to leadership trainings as much as he wants, read as many leadership books as he wants, all is useless.
The first step in gaining trust is to show your experience or knowledge to the team. Team members want to see the knowledge and experience of the leader. Experience and knowledge are the factors that give the team the most basic confidence.
The second most important requirement expected from a leader is fairness. Fairness in the distribution of work, fairness in performance determination, fairness in decision making is the assurance that the rights of team members are protected.
Finally, what is expected of the leader is the protection of team members and team reputation. The leader protects his team.
Features such as developing the team, including the ideas of the team in the final decisions, creating a working environment for the team, bringing the team members together, removing the obstacles in the way of the team, are all done with a leader who is reliable, fair and protects his team.
