Being a Boss
June 17, 2010
Now is exactly when we most need to gather our inner grit, heart, compassion and flexibility in order to respond to situations with intention and possibility, rather than reacting from fear in a familiar and habitual manner.

-Robin Levy and Constant Hine, Positive Change through Grit and Intention
"I believed that a leader could operate successfully as kind of an advisor to his organization. I thought I could avoid being a 'boss.' Unconsciously, I suspect, I hoped to duck the unpleasant necessity of making difficult decisions, of taking responsibility for one course of action among many uncertain alternatives, of making mistakes and taking the consequences. I thought that maybe I could operate so that everyone would like me, that 'good human relations' would eliminate all discord and disagreement.
"I couldn't have been more wrong. It took a couple of years, but I finally began to realize that a leader cannot avoid the exercise of authority any more than he can avoid responsibility for what happens to his organization."

I like to comment on Gloria Steinem's views. She is so true ,it is very difficult to 'unlearn' the set ideas and honestly look out of the box. Being boss in child care field means wearing all kind of hats. In child care field you can not limit your responsibility to certain tasks. One has to be pragmatic- some times friendly but always looking for child's better future.
