(continuation from “Things Leaders Must Do.”

(For New Readers. You can read archived T.O.T.D. in www.inevermetmymother.com)

 

People who succeed in leadership and life do not go around settling scores. They do not even keep score.
 
 
So, let’s look how leaders make this principal work. 
 
Get rid of anger. When you feel anger at someone who is only giving you what you deserve, there are two wrong ways to respond and one that is better.
First wrong way to respond to to anger is not to feel it, or not allow it to tell you something is wrong. The second wrong way is to use anger to get back at those who wrong you-to put them down, hurt, lash out, shame them, or manipulate them into improving. Neither if these ways can avert the impending dissolution of the relationship, and may indeed hasten it.
The right way is to use your anger to let the other person know there is a problem. Then, go and solve the problem by approaching the person in love, not anger, and facing the issue at hand. Fix problems in a way that treat the other person better then you were treated.

…to be continued tomorrow.
