I always believe that good leaders are also good followers. Ironically, I’m not a good follower. Should I expect a good leadership out myself? Let the members speak their minds. (If they happen to bump my site…)
I would just like to express similar bitterness my friend Bong
I can relate how maddening it is to schedule a meeting for your group but instead of starting it on time, you have to spare another hour or more because you will have to wait for the rest of members to arrive so that there should be a quorum.
Even if you still have other things to do, you don’t have a choice but to sacrifice it or miss it at all because waiting for them has already consumed much of your time. They just don’t have an idea how frustrating it is to you. They just don’t have an idea how much you extend your patience in order not to reach your boiling point.
Another thing is when they get inside the room late and the meeting has begun, they will automatically babble with their seatmates/classmates (as if they haven’t seen each other for decades) and eventually disturb your ongoing discussion. Isn’t it already below the belt? Isn’t it worth slapping their faces until you see them bleed? (but that is too harsh I believe).
Moreover, how would you feel if the people who usually neglect the meetings are the officers themselves? Haven’t they realized that they should be a model for the rest of the members? I would assume that if they are not stupid they are moron.
Or, if we look at it on the other side, maybe they don’t respect my leadership. Perhaps, they think they are better than me. Well I don’t think so because if that is so, they should have been the ones that were elected and not me.
Now my point here is not to wash my hands and redeem myself from this insensitiveness, or to brag my leadership either. Rather, I am just writing this to let the people know (especially those who are concerned) that a leader can only perform his tasks smoothly if the members are willing to cooperate.
We all have our lazy moments sometimes but for so long as we can minimize it, then let’s do it. We all have our share of stupidity in life but as long as we can control it, let’s go for it. We are not perfect but we can minimize our errors by carefully thinking our deeds before putting them into action. We all have to invest respect to other people if we want to be respected by them also.
seryoso ah. . parang pasaway talaga yang kamember nyo ah. . nag init din ng todo ulo ni bong jan eh. . haha. .
hindi mo tlaga maiiwasang makasalamuha ng mga taong nagmamagaling. . baka kala nila alam na nila kaya wala na silang oras para makinig, aww!
ui! im a good follower! so i can be a good leader pala. .haha
It's really hard to be a good leader. Aside sa famous line na "to be a leader, you have to be a follower first", dapat din tandaan na leadership is gained thru respect.
@ paperdoll
bah...nabeerginan mo ung post ko neng ah...
congrats! praises...
oo ineng, seryoso nga ito...
panu ksi pareho kaming ng pinagdadaanan ni Bong...naks!
actually isa ako sa mga pasaway na kampon niya..hehe
iba naman ung mga kampon ko...
anyway, tama ka nga neng, sadyang may mga taong feeling nila ang galing-galing nila (oops mukhang kasali ako dun ah..lol)
peru hayaan nalang natin sila...
xur ka neng good follower ka?
eh di pwedeng-pwede ka maging leader nyan? ano?
@ chyng

kung kayang mong rumespeto, syempre hindi rin mahirap sa iba na irespeto ka dba?
tnx for the comment mis cHYng...

I used to be a student leader during my time in the University.....and experienced the same things....the school after all they say is a microcosm of society. And I can never forget what my adviser once said--- "be careful, politics in the Philippines is about people pushing you to the top and leaving you there alone." True
@ pUsaNg gALa
student leader ka rin pala dati..hehe
u r absolutely right about the Politics in our country...
hindi pa naman ako masyadong iniwan but they are indirectly telling me to step down through their apathy...
peru di pa rin susuko...
mamatay sila sa inggit..lol

CRAB MENTALITY IN THE MAKING!!!!!..lolz...
its normally the saddest part of being a good leader..members wont totally respect you for they believe as well that they can also be in ur shoes......for sure ul be accountable if the group fail...but in the long run,its ur effort that counts and not the members'....maybe more effort on ur part will make a difference...cheers!!!

There are people that is so inconsiderate that they substantially take your feelings for granted.
It is for the leaders to communicate with the members on how to act as a team associate.
Leaders and members should have an OPEN forums for this matter to gain CLOSEness and camaraderie.
God bless Mavs!
ahhhmm. ala naku masabe. ay meron pla.
as one of Bong's followes, i could really admit that sometimes, we tend to get lazy. but i believe that now, i understand things well, thus, i act good na.
i understand the newbies if they cant stAnd the responsibility yet, since, theyre still new.
