How to Lead Effective Teams with Ray Ohta

My professional development experience yesterday with Ray Ohta was very enjoyable. Here are several quotes from philosophers and his thoughts that were shared with us...
  • The philosophy of what you're doing is always more important than the mechanics of doing it.
  • The organization bestows "management" rights to the individual. The employee bestows "leadership" rights to the individual.
  • Ingredients of successful relationships include mutual trust, respect, commitment to a shared purpose and active colalboration through mutual responsibility and accountability

    Mahalo for sharing this! However, I am a bit confused on the second quote. Who is the "individual?"

    Aloha,

    Aloha e Liko,

    Mahalo for commenting. The individuals in the second quote refer to the supervisor indicating that employees (those who work for their supervisors) give leadership rights pointing out that managing is different from leading. Leaders lead people while managers manage tasks. Subordinates are managed by their supervisors but can choose who they are led by. I hope this makes sense. :)
