Your Leadership Can not Make Everybody's Happy!
I believe that everyone has a style and leadership. Leadership is leadership that is intended to manage himself or also managing other people. Leadership is not only a science, but also leadership is an art. Every person has the character of each, and will be carried and reflected into the leadership style of the person. However, any form of leadership style, you will not be able to please all of the people you lead. Why is that?
Some time ago I got the assignment to be chairman of the committee of an activity. As a chairman, of course, I obliged and empowered in designing the concept of activities, budget costs, to mobilize colleagues. The task is the responsibility of me, I do the best possible and endeavored as much as possible in order to be accepted by all members of the team that I lead. I try to please all members of my team! But it was not, the policies and actions that I do not make everyone happy. The lack of pleasure is actually not the personal side, but to the policies and leadership.
Everyone has an opinion on what's good for him. Even may have their own interests. If interest or opinion is contrary to the policy or decisions we have made, this course will bring displeasure. If you are not happy this is just a moment, just based to a policy, it's not a big problem, because before long it will go away by itself, and the atmosphere will return to normal. But if this resentment leads to envy or resentment in person, then this will impact on the declining performance, collaboration, and communication. And this is a very bad thing and should be avoided.
Indeed, any policy will not make people agree or happy, but we as leaders must have the power of thought that far ahead. We should be able to determine what is best for us, the team, and the institution as a whole in the future, although sometimes the determination of the decision will make some of our colleagues become like us. However, it is better to sacrifice momentary displeasure than sacrifice our own future, the team, as well as institution. Here our leadership's actually tested. A leader does not need to feel wanted to be liked by everyone, because it would not be possible. Therefore, thinking about the future of the team, institutional, and personal reputation is an ideal thing to be done by a leader, even though our policy may be commented upon negatively by the team. But if our decision is correct, and believes that the team and the institution will be saved, we are only a matter of time for all team members understand and justify policies or decisions we have made. Once again, a leader will not be able to please everyone.
