The Greatest Gift of Leadership

Response to a facebook post:
    "The greatest gift of leadership is a boss who wants you to be successful. - John Taffer"

 In most Capitalist oriented organizations that type of boss, or manager, just does not exist. The overwhelming priority of generating immediate economic results overshadows any concern your boss might have about your own personal development.  Instead he is most concerned about having you efficiently and satisfactorily fulfill the limited requirements of your job classification in a timely manner.  This "one dimensional" assessment of your own value and significance necessarily overshadows any concerns your boss might have about your own physical and psychological health. There is little real "leadership" in any Capitalist enterprise because the goals of the organization are limited in scope and duration.   Immediate financial profit is the only concern and you are not.
