It has often been said that you don’t develop leaders or champions on feather
beds. The “eagle approach” works best. Eagles build their nests high on
mountains, exposed to the first rain, the first snow, the strongest winds. How to Stay Positive...when the boss isn’t

I speak to a lot of organizations on the importance of positive leadership and
the benefits of building a positive culture that fuels performance. Yet, the
most common question I receive after my talk is: “Jon, this makes so much sense
but my boss isn’t that kind of leader/manager. So how do I stay positive when my
boss isn’t?”

There is an old saying, “That which can be misunderstood will be
misunderstood.” This resolution, passed by the Board of Councilmen in Canton,
Mississippi, in the mid-1800s brings that into focus. “Number one: Resolved by
this Council that we build a new jail. Number two: Resolved that the new jail
be built out of the materials of the old jail. Resolved that the old jail be
used until the new jail is finished.”

According to a study I read, the way we look has a direct bearing on our
paycheck. Employment data from 7,000 adults was analyzed. Interviewers divided
the group according to looks and then compared what those working similar jobs
in each category were paid. Those who were below average in appearance earned
less than those rated “average.” Those who rated average earned less than those
who were rated “above average.”

Leaders Are Managers

Richard Kerr of United Technologies Corporation explains the difference
between leadership and management: “Leaders clearly know that people
don’t want to be managed, they want to be led. Whoever heard of a
‘world manager’? ‘World leader’? Yes. Educational leaders, political
leaders, religious leaders, Scout leaders, community leaders, labor
leaders, business leaders - they lead, they don’t manage. The carrot
always wins over the stick. Ask the horse. You can lead your horse to
water, but you can’t manage him to drink. If you want to manage
somebody, manage yourself. Do that well and you’ll be ready to stop
managing and start leading. After all, if you can’t manage yourself,
how can you legitimately expect to manage others?”

Today we hear a lot of discussion, read a lot of articles and look at an amazing number of books on
leadership and managing. They are different functions, but leaders
need to know a great deal about managing and managers need to know a
lot about leading. The greater part of all U.S. companies are
comprised of fewer than 100 people. The overwhelming majority of those
employ less than fifty. This means that the roles of leader and
manager often fall on the same shoulders. It is, therefore, imperative
that each knows something about leading and managing. This is also
true in the family.
