Doing a good job is different from doing a good job--

1. Not long ago, the head of a company came to visit me. He became the head of the headquarters at a young age with outstanding personal achievements. Months passed, but when the organization did not perform, he read the giant's leadership book and eventually came to ask for help.

2. When asked why the organization is not performing, they talk for a long time, such as "lack of employees' capacity", "lack of will to grow", "the way they think about just working roughly while receiving a salary", "lack of innovation spirit", etc.

3. Interestingly, there was no "I" for this reason, only "He" or "She".

4. I asked, "I see you're a passionate, very good worker. So you've been on a roll and you've come all the way to learn." "Come on! What can I do to be good at work by myself?"
Then, he answered, "You have to be logical, you have to learn well, you have to be aware of trends..."

5. I asked him again, "So what do you do to make someone do a good job?" And he hesitated for a second. "I haven't thought about it much." "You have a clear organization goal, and you give me compliments, you give me support, and I think that's what we need."

6. He said, "Right. We're deluded, and I think someone who's good at it can do a good job of helping others do a good job. But they're different. Being a good footballer is different from being a good football coach. He's got a lot of motivation, a lot of growth, a lot of work to do, and he's been on a roll. And everybody else is disappointed to see him with his eyes. He wants to be as innovative as he is, high goals and productivity as he is, but when he doesn't work like that, he looks frustrated and puts all the blame on them. "You're the problem." So what do they think of him like this? And how do they behave?"

7." "You're so talented. You're so handsome". I think I won't do my best

8. "So what should I do?" he said, planning his changed perspective and actions and concluding the conversation.

9. An expert is "a person who is good at work," but a leader is "a person who is good at other people's work." They are not the same. Of course, if you work well, you can share your know-how with the organization to create synergy. However, being good at work alone is another matter. Unfortunately, many companies promote a person who is good at work to become a leader, but they also neglect it with the expectation that they will do well on their own. Leadership requires another education and training.  

10. Ask yourself a question.
"What are the characteristics of a person who works well alone?"
"What are the characteristics of a person who makes others work well?"
How are the two different?
