Character Wins The Game

Not a 'Yes Man' is not a 'No Man'. Think about it.
 

 
Incompetent Bosses are causes of toxic environments. Qualified as they may be, they are but only in touch with their Power needs and are miles away with no desire to either connect or engage with their teams. Toxicity is but a natural outcome.
 

 
Most people working under them, are casualties of economic preassures. They are aware but they ignore. Others devoid of character become sycophants. But a few respectfully but boldly whilst acknowledging hierarchical seniority convey having not abdicated their right to decide what actions are right or wrong !
 

 
Javan's beautiful poem captures sentiments of these few who choose to live life by their character and not by its worldly protocols...
 

 
"I am not very good
 
at this game called 'Life'.
 
For I have not learnt to see
 
Children crying
 
without feeling pain...
 
For I have not met
 
a king or a celebrity
 
that I would bow down to ...
 
For I have not learnt to be
 
a 'yes man' to narrow
 
minded bosses
 
who quote rules
 
without reasons...
 
For I have not learnt
 
to manipulate the feelings
 
of others to be used
 
for my own advantages
 
then cast aside as I see fit...
 
No, I am not very good
 
at this game called 'Life'
 
And if everything goes well,
 
maybe, I Never will be."
 

 
That is true leadership character.
