The world is crowded with pretenders

 Yes, it is. There are so many pretenders and only a small amount of leaders.

It's strange, that the organizations give courage to the first type of people. It's strange that they are a majority. It's strange that they have so big self-confidence, based on so little knowledge, skills, business ethic and style.

Sometimes doing strange things leads to a success, but not in this case.

The good news are that at the end the real thing always beats the fake one.

So guys, don't become reconciled with the pretenders. Make the change. Don't be a chief, become a real leader - the business world needs you desperately.

Don't be a fake one

There are so many people

• working with ENTHUSIASM
• DEMONSTRATING passion
• SHOWING pro-activity. 

They always look busy and POUND THE ALARM how busy they are, so that the whole world to know it and especially the boss.

They WORK HARD, while all they have to do is to WORK SMARTER & EFFECTIVELY. Working hard doesn't mean you work effectively. Trying to look good in the eyes of your boss, doesn't make you a real professional & a leader, it makes you a fake one.

Multitasking - are you sure?

There are so many busy people, so many multitasking people. They talk on the phones, eating at the same time and reading the notebooks, while listening the news on the radio. Nowadays being a multitasking person is a symbol of being modern and yes - of being the cliche "cool".

But how it reflects on the productivity? See below and make you conclusions.

Manager vs. Leader

In the world full of directors and managers, there is no place for being just an "ordinary guy".

And if you want to be not just another director/ manager, but a real leader there's no place for fawning - there's only a place for being talented, inspirational and filled with passion. That's what makes the difference between the director and the leader. That's the reason why there are so many managers/ directors and so few leaders.
