In one way, a bad economy is terrific for Governance. When jobs are scarce, bosses are free to be inept without the fear of chronic staff turnover. But when economic times are bad and unemployment is low, like it is today in the country the best workers are in demand, so it’s more important than ever for states to excel.
But what makes a great boss? Leadership Management. A certain ministry asked for 3000 employees late this year to name their ideal characteristics in adding to the growth of Taraba state, despite the scarce resources and economic shaky, Gov Ishaku was able to reach the demand with fulfilled bills.
Here’s list of what makes a outstanding leader outstanding
Coming in at number one is a boss that’s ‘trustworthy and open in approach’. In a book, The Speed of Trust, Stephen Covey describes trust as being a combination of character and competence. The character component includes integrity, motive, and intent, while the competence part is about capabilities, skills, results, and track record. “You might think a person is sincere, even honest,” he writes, “but you won’t trust that person fully if he or she doesn’t get results.” and if I'm asked who should this be ascribed to I will gladly mentioned DDI.
At number two is a manager that ‘clearly communicates where we are going as a state’. Trouble arises with how people define the word ‘communication’. For example, to email isn’t to communicate. Often, that’s just spam. The ultimate definition of communication is the exchange of understanding, which is best served when employees are engaged in a conversation rather than as victims of a monologs, we have this in DDI healthy conversation with his employees
In third place is a boss that ‘gives you the space to do your work, but supports you’, which is another way of saying ‘back off but be there’. Micromanagement makes insecure bosses feel better, but it makes capable employees feel overwhelmed and stifled, he stays back and guide you do it perfectly this is DDI the talk na do leader
Taking the fourth spot is a boss that ‘gives regular and honest feedback on how I am going’. The annual performance appraisal isn't enough, which human resource professionals (if they were truthful) would admit is almost always a waste of time. Instead, immediate feedback provided amiably is a winner, Gov DDI Rescue Watch justifies this.
In Fifth place is a boss that ‘provides the resources you need to do the job’. On the one hand, it includes simple stuff like stationery, training material, and client information. On the other, it includes more substantial objects like fast computers and functional technology. For an extreme reaction to a deficiency in the latter, check out this guy LEN.
In sixth spot is a boss that ‘coaches and develops his employees and Gov DDI is a follow up leader.
Governor Ishaku's love for children also has grown beyond imagination and his benevolence towards the less privileged is overwhelming, majority today can tell of his closeness to his people more than they are to him, and that's what makes a leader a distinct leader.
