While I was reading an amazing novel called “The Deadline A Novel About Project Management”, from the chapter 3 to 5. I realized something that is pretty important when you are the head of a group and that is the way your persuades people to do the tasks that you want and how to keep them motivate.
Be persuasive normally requires at least one characteristic, this aspect is the one that defines the way that you are going to be seen by the people you are rounded, for example, if you are a ruler of a country and the people love you, you will be seen like an Autocrat. However, if the people fears you, you will be seen like a Tyrant.
A lot of people differs about what is the best practice in everyday life, some believe that be feared is the best, because people is not allowed to say you no and is the only way is to do the things that you want, due to the fact that they are scared about the actions you can take against them, so they tried everything to accomplish their task and their motivation is the fear. Nonetheless, the problem of this methodology is when someone can not fullfill their activities, because if you does not apply the right punishment the rest is going to think that the things you say are only a lie, for this reason is just a matter of time to lose the power.
Meanwhile when you are a loved leader, the things work totally different, because you are surrounded only by the people that enjoy working by your side. Their motivation comes from the way you treat them, how you make them fell that are part of something important and their contributions are good for everyone. They do not fail you because they want to keep the appreciation that you give them when they do a good job.
Some think that the risky part of being a loves leader is that the anyone of your team can fail you or betray you because he do not feel the risk of going against you. Nevertheless, the point is that these kind of things happen all the time and sometimes you can not control them, but when it happen you do not lose your power, unlike when you are feared.
