What makes a good leader....

Today was a very disappointed day for me at work. After going thru 2 months of misery and torture doing my new role, finally I know why I am struggling so hard to adapt to it. It seems pretty clear to me that, my so-called management does not have a clear direction for all its team. I think not only me who feels the frustration but some of the country manager are uneasy with the way how our VP is leading this team.

Today, my email to request for country representative to collect feedback was the triggering factor that break the silent war between some managers. One after another start to pour out their thought on how confusing the way each segment is working with each other. All except my manager who thank all the manager's feedback and say she will clarify with the VP. Not a single word to defend me, nor try to explain and neutralize the situation. That is how weak my new manager is among her peers.

I'm truly disappointed with the kind of question that she asked me after the whole drama is over. Those are the type of questions she should know as my manager. I have been updating her with my progress status all this while. Guess it's either we have language gap issue (English is not her primary language) or she is just bring selective in listening. Whatever it is, it's not doing me any good.

Although she will help me to talk to her VP, but I feel that this is something she should have done 2 months back when she took over the team. Why now? After all the direction and guidance that she ask me to take, it's all base on zero knowledge of what she knows. Disappointing.....fail

Guess that is why I'm always hitting the dead zone. Blind leading the blind....cool eh...

I have always envy my colleague who have manager with good leadership. Immediately u can tell, he/she will share with u the vision and mission of the team and guide u all the way to reach the finishing line. They will always tell you, your success is my success.

Guess I'm always not in the luck to get a good manager. Could it be me who is expecting too much? Or just plain luck....I donno

Everyone can be a manager but not everyone can be a leader. I always believe this.....

Guess time for me to sleep amd put all the worries behind. I'm just too tired to think or even rant about it.....

Good night bad Thursday and welcome Good Friday,,,,..
