He asks me: How do you know the strong leader, with regard to the quality of the employees who work with him?! It is a question that I answered many times, but there is no harm in repetition and reminder, because the smart administration does not mean that you are a strong leader “only”, meaning that you cannot work on your own, and make your team just “numbers” calculated on the institution, without employing them in achieving successes.
Therefore, I always say that the “brave” leader is the one who searches for “the powerful”, while the “shaky” leader and the “fearful” is the one who searches for the “weak” to lead them as a herd, who are required to walk only without any “thinking”.
Yes, the strong leader is the one who searches for the powerful, smart and people who work hard, diligence and conscience, and before that it must be completely sure that these people have capabilities in which they are professionally distinguished, and practically intelligence that makes them able to understand the vision and strategy of the sector in which they work, so that their presence in it is a strong addition, and makes them add strength to the strong leader.
The problem is when administrative leaders work on the contrary, and I mean when they search for people with limited capabilities, the weakness of personality, and people who are automatically managed followers without working their minds and without having previous experiences and experiences, or the least of which is success stories that reveal their grandmothers.
Any administrator makes mistakes when he thinks that enabling the weak professionally, administratively and scientifically in the workplace and granting them sites that affect the decision -making and operations, he makes mistakes when he thinks that it is the easiest, most appropriate and safe way to control and lead them; It is the strong leader who highlights as a pulpit of strong guidance among the powerful, not the one who sits on his chair, up to a group of the weak.
Civilizations were built thanks to the presence of the powerful and those who are able to make the difference and the manufacture of change, and many civilizations fell when they reached the level of decision -making in them with limited capabilities and thinking, and those who see the work personal gains only concern them, while the public interest comes after that stages.
If you are a leader, do not search for the weak or limited capabilities, if you want to succeed. Look for the powerful you can rely on, and who have unique advantages and capabilities, make them together together form a strong team and make miracles.
For the simplest issue for those who are difficult for them to absorb the equation, as you imagine yourself a football team coach, and you have an excellent budget, will you go to attract the distinguished strong players who can achieve championships and always provide a strong level, or will you go to attract the cheapest players who do not have a distinctive record, and who their performance is very normal?!
If you go to the second option, then you are one of those who do not search for championships and excellence, but you are one of those who depend only on luck, if you are raised, and if he disappointed, she is disappointed, and often relying on the weak and enabling limited capabilities does not mean only “permanent disappointment.”
