Tungod sa ka-bright ya na magpakatunong! Tungod sab kay nag pa-bright bright ya na noon maamo Have you experienced to have this confusion when a boss or a companion in the workplace speak of a certain concept that you often cannot comprehend?

Worse, when you will be blamed with an assigned task without a framework.

According to a report from the Economist Intelligence Unit, poor communication can lead to low morale, missed performance goals, and even lost sales in business.

But what about those leaders who project intelligence then pass the responsibilities to their subordinates? They find “empowerment” and “delegation” as excuses. In fact, they simply do not want to do the task (or do not know about it) that they simply pass it on.

It is all very well to try to get things off one’s plate. But if the leader is simply removing work from the pile only to dump it onto someone else’s, this isn’t necessarily effective time management (Brearley, 2020).

In the education arena, there are teachers who complain about too much paper work since the school authorities are passing-on their work to them. There are even school heads assigning teachers to track the lesson plans and develop findings through analyses! No wonder many of them are complaining about paperwork.

Being detached from the team can also cause a leader to be distanced from the details of their work. One doesn’t need to know everything, but often the leader is expected to be able to speak about the work of the team or report progress. Having no answers never looks very good!

There is a need to be at par with the position one is proud about. Self-improvement through developing the self by continuously learning and exposing oneself to learning opportunities are tantamount to the outputs expected of a leader.

Let us be empowered. We do the tasks first and allow others to learn through modelling.

Then, the achievements you post on social media can be more meaningful than claiming them as solely your effort.
