Treat them as you would want to be treated, but remember they are a resource for your company.

Thank you for this clarification, differentiation of the word resource from the human relation aspects.




Yes, you can be a good leader, showing good leadership skill, attributes and potentials and at the same time be a good friend to your subordinates.




LEADERSHIP ability is a non moral ability, it can be attained and also be build up and inherited from birth. Children growing up in big families tend to exercise their leadership qualities more than single child families.




Leadership is amoral, that is having no good or bad attributes to it, for example a gangster chief is a leader, or a religious cleric is a leader in his own rites.




Having said that, we come to the terms of the corporate environment, where leadership role plays the part to achieve the goals and objectives of the group or the corporate mission. There are many gurus and teachings from many sources, but you have to look at the Asian perspective.




David McClelland, HBS said there are three needs to motivation theory: 1. Power needs, 2. Achievement needs and 3. Affiliation needs. All these should be balanced to be a successful leader.

1. Power needs - to gather much authority, power and command over a group of people. Political power, the ability to persuade someone to do something which you want to, and sometimes against his/her own wants.
2. Achievement needs - the constant need to achieve goals, to climb the next highest mountain, to do the extremes of a task, which takes you to another level. The satisfaction of accomplishing a challenging task, and evaluated to be successful and well done.
   
3. Affiliation needs - the need to have friends, a group of people around you, who love and have good rapport with you. Some companies have to cater for this need, because it helps to boost productivity. E.g. pipe-in music at the shop floor, or a people-friendly environment, with amenities and facilities, e.g. child-care centre for the working mothers.

Thanks for your so many valuable suggestions. You also show your abilities of leadership ,it is a great help for me.Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Luky.

A great leader does not treat his/her employees as "things" or "resources" that is expandable. That is really inhumane and cold. Money is not everything.

Do you know who is Anita Roddick? She is the founder of The Body Shop of a multi billion company that is spread all over the world. She invites her employees for barbarcue, she be-friend all her employees and know their names down to the janitor who works for her. She takes care of the low income community by making business ideas for them. There are many great stories about her, and we should all be one way or the other be like her.  Bussiness with integrity, honesty and with a clear heart.

But of course not everybody can be like her. It is however, not too late to start now.

One of my friend told me I could not be a good leader or boss, because I treated the people work under me kindly, I share them many things... She said to be a successful leader, I hv to treat the employee as “ tools” and “resources” but not “human”...this puzzled very much,I hv different thinking, I thought human being are equal, They are neither “tools” nor “resources”…If money make you treat other not human..what left in the heart?

I lead a group of people The oldest being 62 Y.O and the youngest 22 Y.O...And the words I live  By "Are Do Unto Others As You would have them do to you" cause if you treat employees as tools They will Not work for You, Very long You will find that your Turn over rate may Increase.... At lease that is how it works in my part of the world.

 right , i agree with you, life was short to everyone. We need to cherish .Hope life will be better.

Treat employees as Human does not means they're your friend, treat them as resources does not means they're your tools.

In a organization, the status of chief and subordinate must be different, the bigger the organization is, the more important the difference is. A boss can treat Employees friendly, but shouldn't treat them as friends (at least at work), otherwise he'll loss his authority, and always makes troubles for management.

A good boss in fact is not easy to be, he need some management skills.
