there are different kind of leaders in this world. those who are inspirational. those who lead through fear. and those who lead by example. just to name a few.
well if a leader is inspirational well good. if one leads through fear i have nothing to say. but i think the hardest of all is leading by example. the pressure is even greater and expectation to pull something spectacular even when the rest are not performing at times may be overwhelming. and probably the worst of all is at times no one can truly understand how you are feeling.
well, i'm glad to have a captain who is trying his best to lead well and by example. one who was elected simply because he was and is still the best among us. i can see how hard he is trying to keep everyone happy, at the same time trying to have respectable standards of discipline, at the same time trying to make trainings fun, at the same time bringing us to a higher level in our play at while managing all that keeping up the level of his play practically every time. for that i respect him. i hope that he will be able to bring us to higher levels.
and this post goes out to all those out there who are struggling to lead while managing every other aspect of their daily lives. i am sure that despite the pressure and burdens you will manage to pull through to bring your respective teams to greater heights! just aim to be the best you possibly can and people will respect you.. you are captain not because of chance or luck but for a purpose. there has to be something about you that makes you fit to be captain and so don't ever doubt yourself. fo your best and leave the rest to, well if you believe in God, God or fate if you like it. i'm certain you can do it!:D
oh by the way before i forget, i like to thank the ex-floorball captain for putting in his best and doing his best every time despite the immense pressure on his shoulders. besides, i respect him for passing the armband on when he felt it better for the team. there is a saying that was published in a magazine recently.
"Great leaders are not great because they know what to do. They are great because they know when to quit." thanks for being great leader.
ps: this is not asking anyone to quit. this is more for a specific case.:)
