While it is right to Think global but the more correct position is to Act local.
Equally right is that Leadership is by Examples and certainly not by prescepts.
Also, leadership is from the front and not from behind.
Acting local here in our political leadership is Kakistocratic Kleptocracy.
The Boss is a leader, so that if your leadership typology is Kakistocratic Kleptocracy, then global typologies are almost useless.
In acting local, some leadership typologies include the following:-
- Fault Finding Boss: What I found out with some bosses I worked with was, consequent upon how you joined the organization, the Boss does not see anything good with your performance. I had actually worked with a boss who went out of his way to look for my mistakes.
- Knowledge Monopoly Boss: Based on the saying that the Boss is always right, I have come across bosses who push their ignorances as the only truth. I came across a boss who told yours truly that because the company had always done the wrong thing, he was right and ignored my advice which landed in trouble with union.
- Absent Minded Boss: As a defence mechanism, some bosses do not pay attention to what subordinates' reports. A Subordinate who not keep written reports with these types of bosses are on their. As I said, somewhere earlier, written and well circulated report saved my job.
Next week, we shall conclude this content by mentioning my perculiar problems.
