A successful leader is a person, who models the way to its subordinates. The leaders should influence the employees to find a solution to every problem. If leaders always spoon feed the subordinates then I don’t think they will be able to be responsible and accountable towards their work. To accomplish an objective, they should rouse and support to their part for viable execution (Kouzes & Posner, 2006).

Time when I felt Powerful

My involvement is at Jobs Dynamics, a recruitment company for recruiting, outsourcing, training and consulting for any business house. Here I worked as a recruitment head. The recruitment for any company is not such an easy task or say job to fulfill. There is time that we have put on full effort to fulfill the requirement but we are unable to do so. At the moment, my managing director sir support me and my team saying we should keep on trying rest let it go. The word is such a powerful that we keep on trying and we made hired the position.

In the same way, when we used to do the same task on repetition it is obvious that we feel bored. At the moment also he used to arrange refreshment program. He used to arrange put luck program where he used to serve food on his own cook. Every staffs 'birthday celebration is also arranged to office. Recently, he called for meeting and introduce holiday for last Friday of the month. These all the decision really motivates staff to work on with full of energy.

What I want to share from my experienced is for every company the leader should understand the environment and should act his leadership accordingly. The leader should always keep holding hands of their followers. If he/she lacks that situation handling then I do not think he/she can act their role play.

Time when I felt Powerless

A few years back, I used to work for Advertisement Company called MARS Pvt. Ltd. where I hold the position of client servicing executive. I used to have frequent client visit where they would share me their rough ideas about their campaign. I used to note down their concept and back to office I would share their requirements with my creative team. My managing director sir also used to be there for us and put his ideas too. It was a day I visited my client and share the details with my team, but designer did not complete it. Then on my own, I created multiple logo design options and I firstly share to my director. He at that moment scold me in rough that is designing your task. Then I could not speak at all in front of him. After few weeks, I did mistake on proposal to the clients. He then called me and scold on that mistake. And, I also heard from my team mate that he was saying that he had paid for us and he had right to scold too. On the next day I went to him and handover my resign letter.

This was my worst experienced that the company can also run in such a way where there is no value for their staffs (followers). The leader should always motivate his team member rather scold and demotivate their feelings. The problems and mistakes are usual that might occur. It is true that repetition should not be tolerate, but leader should deal the situation in a good manner.
