POV: Petty Leadership

Petty leadership is when a leader uses their power to settle small emotional scores.

I bagi contoh:

Someone disagreed with you, so suddenly they’re not invited to the meeting.
Someone didn’t invite you, so you don’t invite them.
Someone challenged you publicly, so you make sure they “learn their place.”

The behaviour itself look tiny, but don’t be fooled.

The problem is the power behind it.

Happy weekend, everybody!

Remember, the real test of leadership is not how you treat people you like.

It’s how fairly you treat the people you don’t.

Give credit when it’s due. Be fair even when you don’t feel like it.

Think about it.
