My Bosses

To think of it, I've gone through quite a bunch of them. I won't call them leaders, because few of them really were leaders while the majority were bosses or better known as - managers.
What I'm going to do here is to list all the good qualities I've found in them.

• Number one had good eyes, this one saw my potential and what kind of task would suit me when I didn't have any idea of where I want to go.

• Number two got the ability to trust the subordinates and the true skill of delegation. I recognize this one as a leader because this one made me grow - a lot.

• Number three was a good communicator. I was impressed by this ones skill to reach out to people at all level and with no trace of arrogance. I recognize this one as a leader because this one inspired me.

• Number four was good at influencing and networking. This one is able to predict, control and make sure things go in the favourable way. This one was no pushover.

• Number five was analytical and patience.

• Number six was a strategist. This one was structured, driven and clear when giving directions but without revealing more than planned.

• Number seven was experienced and calm. This one knows what lies a head and planned a good escape without making much noise.

• Number eight was a smart one. This one give you a lot of space.

• Number nine was a rare one. This one got all of the above described qualities. I recognize this one as a leader - with the big L.

• Number ten has the verbal gift. This one can sell anything to anybody in any situation.

There's actually more than ten of them but I didn't get to know the rest well enough to make a sound judgement.
