Looking at the big picture

A leader has to walk the talk and set a good example for his employees. A framework and boundaries also needs to be in place in order for employees to know their limits and adhere to the rules and regulations.

It is never easy especially leading in unchartered waters and a leader furthermore has to be a good role model to his followers. As the phrase goes.. leading by example.

Creating the balance
As a leader, the difficulty lies in creating the balance between to what extent should one be friendly and to what extent should one remains aloof and detached. I believe,learning never ends and a leader always has to read more to be able to apply more knowledge and handle a variety of situations. Leading is never easy and at times, unexpected things happen that are not predicted or planned. One should never take failure to heart and learn from the mistakes made. Only then can one embrace oneself, improve and move on.
