The pundits say there has to be a choice between the two and you can like someone you respect, but a leader should strive to be respected over being liked.<br /><br />I have never consciously shunned being a part of teams I have led and I have always been told I am a natural leader (sometimes I don't know what that means either). While never doing this consciously, I am aware that it naturally happens. The relationship changes and people want to be associated with good leaders, but there is a natural border that segments the leader from the troops.<br /><br />I try not to give it much merit or thought, but rather try to concentrate on being a good leader and being myself. The big faux pas is leaders that start to take themselves too seriously and stop being the person that everyone wanted as their leader.Harold of Scaggsvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332220994488080102noreply@blogger.com
