A good leader gets things done because he inspires his men to work.
A bad leader gets things done because he manipulates his men to work.

There is a big difference.

For one, his men work because they want to.
Whereas for the other, his men work because they have to.

I had quite a rough day today. Someone told me that it’s really not my fault because these are office politics and can’t be helped, and that I am just the unfortunate victim caught in between.

Well, I am not questioning their abilities to lead, but if I were in their shoes, I am sure I will be capable of doing a much better job.
