I have decided to write on this topic due to the resultant effect that comes out of a person waiting for Authority to be given, which makes him inefficient in reality.
You may be aware that the term “Management” is defined as the art of getting things done through other people. It is one of the skills that a leader should possess for getting the best results from his team. Leadership is all about using your strengths to achieve the stated objectives. Some people are mature and know this instinctively and the rest discover this during the course of their life’s journey.
I always look at people who want to prove their mettle. The qualities I look for are – motivational levels, Speed, passion, curiosity, partnership, ownership without owning, integrity, etc... I am of the view that with so many young people around, we’ll never fall short of good talent in the days to come. The younger generation has great attitude and leadership qualities. They’re willing to go that extra mile and stretch themselves ever willing to take on responsibilities.
Responsibility is always relegated, be it in corporate circles or at home and in the work place. In your appointment order too when defining your role, your responsibilities too will be mentioned. No where can you find any mention made about your authority. Thus we come to a situation where we are in confrontation with no clarity on authority. As you keep questioning yourself constantly, you will get an answer to any problem that you may face in your daily life. On dwelling deeply, we will come to know that Authority is always taken in tune with our responsibility. Thus we can conclude that Authority is the one always taken and responsibility is the one given.
In our daily mundane life, we can see that the output from some people is less than others as they take life easy and don’t fell responsible for their work. This results in losing their authority on others and hence a poor performance compared to the one who shoulders his responsibility and also feels accountable for what has happened. Thus one should be accountable, responsible, reliable and billable if he has to exercise his authority on others.
We can see a paradigm shift in the attitude in today’s Managers (who are the leaders of tomorrow) while shouldering the Responsibility and Authority.
We will see more of such management terms in the days to come. Be blissful.
