Leader

Sometimes i really confuse about the real characteristics of being a leader in the business world. Well, personally i think that a leader should be focusing on their work, assign tasks for those employees with capabilities, and set a deadline for them to collect their works. In the process, trust should be given to their subordinates as well. This is a "classical" leader. Nowadays, in this sophisticated life and rapid changing environment, especially business world, my perception about leader is no mercy, which means that if certain employees do not meet your expectation, they will be eliminated. Thats it. this is truly NO MERCY. In university, if you are trying to practice this "no mercy" thing, i am telling you that you should be prepared to accept the consequences, which is to be alone. If you are good with that, then you may proceed, and i wish you good luck in future; but if you don't think that you can cope with that loneliness, then i think you better stop to think like that. Basically, i know that i am not a good leader, because i always try to do all the work myself rather than REALLY trust on them, and i know that's my personal problem in my communication with others, and i do not feel safe without checking all the things myself. But anyway, i am trying really hard to improve and overcome my weakness in that because a good leader should not have any doubt in their teammates, and i know i wont be able to check their works because a leader got a lot of things to do other than checking. Freedom should be given to team members, but i prefer to give "guidance" in the process of giving freedom. I will let them do, let them fail, let them correct their mistakes, and that will improve them and prepare them for a better future. This is what i will do. I know i can do it. And i mean it.
