I like how corporate slaves like to indulge in the fantasies that their menial jobs and team can be remotely compared to an army regiment and a leader fighting wars. 
 I mean you guys need to realise that u r just fucking lucky to be born in the only 50 year period in history where such weakling are tolerated. 
 Anyway, i digress. It is neither, it corporate style as it shud be.

which leader fights wars even during actual wars. they are just doing strategy from air conditioned control rooms and participate in chest thumping in the media

Those are country leaders, regiment leaders actually go to war and die.

Remember that scene in SUITS when Louis did everyone of his subordinate's task in just a night, yeah, that, but I tell people politely.

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

In my corporate experience, I have observed two kinds of leaders - 1) A hard task master, very high on IQ but more often than not low on EQ and 2) High on EQ, above avg on IQ. I as a manager/ leader fall under 2) and usually get work done without authority but I do experience at times, some peers and reportees taking advantage of my behaviour

 In my view, anecdotally I see type 1) leaders succeed more in corporates even if it comes at the cost of facing flak/hate from directs/indirects. One of my previous managers was unpopular for his toxicity but somehow I kind of built a decent bond with him. Once over drinks and dinner, he candidly told me, I'm not here in this organization for making friends and I'm here only to get results and he did deliver on results every year.

My question is, can type 2 leaders even climb up the ladder specially where cut throat competition exists. Sometimes I do feel I need to be more like type 1 leaders obviously not at the cost of toxicity - disrespect, shouting etc. 

What are your thoughts?

Leadership

Consultant

I recently attended a workshop on emotional intelligence in the workplace, and it's got me thinking about leadership styles. I've had bosses who ruled with an iron fist and others who took a more collaborative approach. 

In your experience, what qualities make for an effective leader? How important is EQ versus IQ? And how can we cultivate these skills in ourselves and others?

Everyone is gung ho about Leadership..Leadership this..Leadership that..but honestly how many of us are really able to follow that?

Don't you have to micromanage the team members? How do you find such motivated team members?

Honest answers only.

Micromanage or not?

What was it like when you first lead a team? What were the challenges you faced? It would be great if folks can share their experiences. 

What made you get better/ things that you learnt from? 

Asking this as I'll soon be leading a small team. Would want to see myself as grow as a good leader. 

Thanks in advance!

The way they speak, talk, carry themselves and for some reason every action they do reeks of badassness. Why? Discipline yes what else?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I consider myself a jack of all trades. I run a small biz on the size. I’m quite disheartened by the lack of generalist leadership roles in companies. 

There is no natural career progression for a chief of staff. Plus, salaries for chief of staffs are not at par with CXOs. 

Is there no other way to rise up the ranks in a generalist role?

As I read few posts about leadership styles, rants about pathetic managers. Since this platform has a combination of managers & freshers/reportees.

Just thought to know what defines a good manager.

Also would like to know from people who are in the leadership role - What makes you think you are a good manager & what is that one thing u want to do to make others life better at office.
