Bad leader makes people feel bad. Good leader makes people say the leader is good. Great leader makes people feel good.

Bad leader

As leader, the job to be done is to create better leader. Hence, once we have a role as leader then we start thinking to nurture our team members for future leader. However, we fail to listen to our team members in order to understand them.  What makes people feel bad then? People feel bad when their leader is listening to reply. Therefore, people feel that their leader is not listening.

Good leader

As leader, again the job to be done is to create better leader. What makes people say the leader is good then? People will talk about the leader because the leader is presenting good deeds/words/gestures in public. However, the leader might feel very tired by not being authentic.

Great leader

As reminder, the job to be done is to create better leader.  The great leader has self-awareness to stop thinking about self, and start thinking about their team members. Why better leader? Any organization performance depends on the leadership quality. When the leadership succession is to have better leader then any organization would tend to be having better performance. Team members will feel good to be part of the vibrant team.  And then better performance is just a consequent. Great performance comes from great team. Great team comes from great leader. Great leader comes from genuine self-awareness from the leader to create better leader. The great leader resonates for people: ‘Do well anyway’.

From business point of view, great leader attracts good people to join. Hence, great leader is a magnet.  Great leader forms leadership culture. The culture is created to get sustainable excellent business outcome.
