It has been a challenging task working with different kind of people.
It's not just work to achieve a common goal but working with them, actually leading them to achieve THAT goal.
The former is easier since most often than not, you just simply do your own share of the task & wish that all is well.
The latter is like joggling different kinds & sizes of bottle ensuring that the goal is achieved, at the same time protecting the people responsible to achieve that goal.
The popular adage says "you can't please everyone" is SO MUCH true.
Managing, leading, handling people, whatever you call it, is SUCH a task.
It's not just a thing- shoes, bags, jewelries you so wanted to have, or a project you wanted to finish.
They are real people. They have emotions, feelings, opinions, desires, these are human beings like you and me.
They have their own mind, their set of goals that I sometimes feel so responsible for.
How would you say to person that you're not good enough. Even if you just mean that for the task that you gave him or her? And mind you its not his or her total persona!
It's getting me crazy cause lately, I honestly don't want the not so good side of managing people.
Which is? Which is talking to them telling things that I myself don't wanna say and hear!
It hurts down to the emotion. It leaves a mark.
Well maybe because I wanted to leave a good mark that's why I care so much about these things.
Well, yes! Who doesn't anyway? Well yes not everyone- slave drivers?!
Anyway, these are real people who live their lives and I am not to ruin them. I just hope that whatever I say or do, they would see beyond the not so good things.
I really hope that they would actually realize that I just mean well. Well for the job but most especially, I just mean them well.
After all I am the kind of person who wouldn't exert any effort if I don't care.
I just hope this gets through them.
"Coz guys if you just know, its not easy!"
On the other hand I also know that this experience is just a tip of the iceberg. There would be more or much more difficult people, task & decisions to make.
But I just hope that the Good Lord would enable me and prepare me so that when THESE things come, I would be able to do the RIGHT thing.
"A manager does things right, a leader does the right thing."
