As managers, we face challenges every day, so it's important to maintain and continuously improve our leadership. Leadership is not innate, but is acquired through continuous learning, practice, and reflection. Lenin, the great revolutionary mentor, had a profound insight into this, emphasizing that leadership should not be maintained by authority, but by prestige, significance, experience and outstanding talent. These four elements form the core of leadership, with prestige being seen as the primary factor.
So, how do you build your authority? In my opinion, we need to have the following four "powers".
First, there must be "Dulwich". This means that we are to earn the trust and respect of others based on high moral character and honest behavior. Dulwich is not built overnight, but is shaped by words and deeds over time. A virtuous leader is able to unite the strength of the team and stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of employees.
Second, there must be "financial authority". "Wealth" here does not refer only to money, but to resources, abilities, and strength. As leaders, we need to be good at using and allocating resources to leverage the strengths of our teams to achieve organizational goals. Caiwei is built on strength, and a leader with Caiwei can lead the team to overcome difficulties and continue to achieve success.
Third, there must be "professional authority". Prestige means that leaders should be responsible for their positions, be conscientious, and establish authority. The best of Zhiwei is the professionalism and sense of responsibility of the work. A leader with authority can earn the respect and trust of employees, so that they can better perform their responsibilities and promote the development of the organization.
Fourth, there must be "authority". The "right" here does not refer to power, but to the need for leaders to know how to be expedient, be flexible, and balance various interests. Authority is a form of wisdom that empowers leaders to make informed decisions in a complex and dynamic environment that moves the organization forward.
The key to sustaining and enhancing leadership is to build authority, and this requires us to have Authority, Financial, Professional, and Authority. Only in this way can we be comfortable in management and lead the team to success. In today's era full of challenges and opportunities, let us work together to continuously improve our leadership and create brilliance together.
