Managing big events were the things i look forward to in my high school days. I just LOVE being busy-planning and getting the pieces together. The memories that come with it, the footprints left in our hearts, the good times we can't possibly forget, the ups and downs faced together.
Being the big boss is an honour, being a part of the team despite of the role played is an opportunity. The pathway for us to shine and outstand everyone else, no matter what role you're given trust to pull off-whether major or minor. Everyone would have their time being the head, but sometimes we gotta learn to follow too. Most importantly, we must make the best out of everything we do. Leader or just a mere team member, WHO CARES! When the leader's in the spotlight for good work, the team members are too-do not forget. Success in hand is for everyone to share-everyone who has given their full dedication and love for the team and tasks given.
No, it's not all about carrying the title LEADER-one must perform. The leader is the colourful lollipops that make children happy; the nagging of a mother to make her kids help with house chores, the sad scenes in a movie that make the audience cry non-stop. In short, a leader should know the arts of influencing people. Self-confidence is a must-have element, being able to voice ideas and innovations of his/her and yet, still take suggestions as well as opinions from others into consideration-that makes a great leader. And every team member would be happy too! There's no point being pompous and not liked by your own people, right?
Life's about choices and chances, how you are given choices and chances and how you offer others choices and chances. Every choice, every chance that comes my way, I take them as blessings. That's how it is for everyone else too. When I feel that I've done my time, I'd give choices and chances to another. Instead of being inferior of not being the head no more, I feel grateful for the opportunity given to me and that opportunity I chose to give to someone else-would be the source of happiness and a sense of honour and definitely a learning experience to that particular person. I discovered many things and polished truckloads of skills being a leader-so giving the post to another is just me intending to share what I have learnt and done, letting them to be as competent and have a taste of reality (It's not easy, it never is.) And this makes me feel good :) We should take one step forward together, not leave one or two behind. And isn't that the purpose of being an educator?
I will never get upset even if I was given the smallest part in an organization, it is more of what I have to offer and make the team a successful one. Teamwork is everything, I've learnt that the hard way. However as a leader, you must know how to twist things around. Turn the bad into positive. Pull the away back into the group. That's your responsibility!
Truly from my heart, anything will do for me. The world does not revolve around me, there are others to be taken care of too-those who had been waiting for opportunities just as those who had been waiting for the rain during drought season. If we do not compromise and let others have chances, we might as well not be a leader because we do not have the compassion for our own kind.
Team principle: You jump, I jump! (LOL but true!)
XOXO
