What did you understand when you became a leader?

You have to understand that leadership is not that easy.

Leaders are popular every day, and when they have power, they are determined to be leaders. Only when you are a leader can you know the unknown ups and downs of leadership. I didn't know it was really easy to be a leader, and I didn't know the truth until I became a leader.

So what did you know when you became a leader? Interpersonal relationships are complicated.

When you are a subordinate, you may know which colleagues are relatives and which colleagues are "three noes", but when you become a leader, you will find that there are still many relatives hidden in the office, and their backgrounds are far beyond your imagination. It takes ability to handle these complicated relationships fairly and justly.

There is another understanding of power.

I thought that when I became a leader, I had the right to arrange the work of my relatives; But when you are a leader, you can only be strict with yourself! You can only be a public servant of the people!

Management is lonely.

Before I became a leader, I got to know everyone and felt that I got along well with everyone. When you become a leader, you will find that management is lonely and you will see a smiling tiger every day. You spend much more energy on your subordinates than when you were a subordinate.

I think fairness and justice are very important, but they are not.

When I was a subordinate, I felt that the leader was "unfair" in handling things. At that time, I dreamed that when I became a leader, I must be "fair and just" in handling things. After leading, you changed a standard to do it. Some people always feel unfair, but it is fair for you to proceed from the overall situation.

I thought someone would kiss my ass, but in fact I will meet someone more difficult.

I thought that as a leader, people would often kiss your ass and please you, but don't be too happy. Some amateurs often haunt you.

More pressure.

When I was a subordinate, I felt that the leader was just a newspaper, having meetings, reading documents, making phone calls or checking every day. It's not serious at all, but as a leader, you will find that you are busier and more stressed than before, and it is difficult to plan your work.

Besides, some things must be done by yourself.

Before becoming a leader, as long as the leader points out the direction, we are all executors of specific things. After becoming leaders, we found that many people have no sense of responsibility and initiative, and they are procrastinating and unsatisfactory, and even often have to do things themselves.

Need to study all the time.

Although, when you are a leader, you can arrange subordinates' work, but don't think that after you become a leader, you can sit in the office without studying or contacting business. Leadership is a big challenge to ability, so you should study often, or you will be fooled by your subordinates if you are not careful. Even communication with other high-level officials is irrelevant.
