pay respect to where it is due..
BB seriously is a great organization, where u get to see what working life would be like, as u have different characters, and from there u get to see how they handle managerial positions..
1 common thing i see with them and also some older ppl, who think they know everything..and with their "experience" they always say stuff like, "o if i was in charge, u wouldnt get this problem" or "back in my day........" whatever la..a few things i feel these ppl dont give credit to is that if they were to work in a team, then their teammates deserve to get some of the credit, cuz they are of capable ppl or of skill..for example, just say ferguson retires (hope not anytime soon) and he tells his son, " when i was ur age, i won 21 league titles". I feel Ferguson should go on to say "thanks to my capable team and ronaldo for all the goals and skills he has"
get it? it is because of other ppl, u get the success..when u say that to ppl like me, who are learning or are currently conducting managerial positions, u need to noe 1 thing, the team that is being worked with is either new, in which everyone is incapable to work together, or there is personality defects..
honestly, i just cant stand it when ppl come to me and say stuff like i could have organized something better..i get that these ppl are trying to help me improve by giving me criticism, but when i do refute their points, they dont except what i've just said and then give indirect comments to say that " u suck at organizing events"..then they go on to say, " during my time...."
when they say things like that, they are comparing my situation to their ideal situation, where they had the best team that was present..compared to me, working with ppl for the first time, learning their weaknesses and strengths, and yes, going through problems, in which apparently could have been avoided if the older ppl were in charge during their days..i ask u this question, who do u think is better (in terms of individual strength)? the leader who has the best team to work with, and gets the event organized, or the leader who works with a bunch of random ppl, fixes their mistakes, teaches them the right way, when facing a problem, gets the event organized to the best it can be..
if ur like the first leader, please give credit to your team..im quite sure that they could have done the job without u, because they noe u well enough to noe what decisions ur gonna make..dont go around parading that u are such a great leader..if u trained ur teammates since the beginning, then u can say ur good at training, but it still doesnt make u that great, cuz ur still always working in that 1 team, or situation..u dont fit urself to the situation..and if these kind of person (also is head strong) goes into a new senario, what happens when he or she is asked to organize something, he or she will cause other ppl to either a) the other ppl will conform their actions to suit the style of the leader, or b) quit and be replaced with someone else who shares the same beliefs and work ethics as the leader..so in the end, they havetheir ideal situation..and they cause others to suffer or be uncomfortable with them..
in terms of practicality, i feel that the 2nd leader is what should be aspired to be because we do live in a fast-pace world, where ppl change their jobs every few years, well with the economy crisis looming, this might change..but yea..i still feel that the 2nd leader is a more versatile leader and i guess it makes it easy to move around..
Cheers
