Leading by Example

Beautifully written... Many "managers" have been promoted from being excellent technicians, to being unsuccessful "managers," because the people who promoted them did not realize that being a good technician does not ensure that a person will be a good manager. Accordingly these "managers" are unable to motivate employees via respect, caring and sharing, etc. In addition, many of these managers are good when it comes to emphasizing the importance of teamwork, but fail to distribute the rewards resulting from effective teamwork. A pat on the back, a smile and a free buffet lunch will not fool employees into thinking that they are being appreciated for their successful teamwork. Greed also plays a part in their short-sighted approach to management, whereby they focus on increasing their share of the existing pie, instead of focusing on increasing the size of the existing pie, with overall welfare in mind.
