Many leaders in today's society are too self-focused and worried about their own personal gains rather than the growth of their subordinates. Most leaders do this while sacraficing morals, ethics, and equal opportunities. Let's face it, disrimination does occur everyday and unless you've been faced with such atrocities, it is nearly impossible to phantom the odds stacked against you.<br /><br />Many leaders also see threats in up and coming leaders with great potential. Instead of embracing talent, they see talent as a threat to their position, turning a possible nurturing relationship into a egotistical battle. Much too often our leaders lose sight of humbleness in a physiological reaction to protect their own wellbeing.<br /><br />There are very few sincere leaders willing to mentor someone from the ground up. And the lower a subordinate is on the todempole, the greater the challenge for a leader to undertake. Seeing the undergod defy the odds when you've mentored him/her is a great accomplishment, even more so than a leaders self-accomplishment. Because once you've made it to leadership why not turn around and help the other person up that ladder as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
