Jeanette and Rusty left work early to compare notes. Both of them worked for the same director and both of them were unhappy with their performance reviews. Jeanette had tried to discreetly ask her peers about their performance reviews, but Rusty seemed to be the only other manager who was upset.

Over a glass of wine, Jeanette began her rant:

Making leaders a force to reckon with… Emboldening the spirit of leadership is by far the best way to glorify leadership! Leadership is a demanding job. It calls for a concerted effort by the leader to create and innovate continuously. Innovation is at the core of effective leadership. The underlying principle of effective leadership is experimentation. However, not many leaders take up the challenge. Hence the work they do is more like a maintenance job. Today’s competitive world has little or no place for people of the “maintenance” genre. Companies are thirsty for corporate scientists who are constantly trying new and innovative ways of doing business. The risks involved in the process seldom deter them in this effort. Such an ability to take risk improves the chances of success and boosts the confidence levels of employees in their leader.
