Will the real leader please SPEAK UP!

I am not a believer of seniority at work. I am a firm believer of appraised performance. However, very often we’ll still get people sitting on top of you because of their seniority. It’s downright frustrating that in the event of any incident or problem that requires their position to speak up, they’ll choose to keep mum over the issue simply because they do not understand what is going on to make any intelligent comment!

To manage does not equal to lead. To become a manager simply doesn’t make you a leader in the process. Leaders in any given organization or fields of specialty have clear authority over their comments and speech. We often HEAR our managers but we will only LISTEN to the leaders.
