Unconsciously, managers without leadership qualities will often seek, above all else, to be liked. Rather than holding people accountable, they let them off the hook. They give non- performers the uneasy feeling that everything's fine. They are managers who seek approval rather than respect. But this habit has a severe consequence. It leads to a lack of trust in the work place, the most common "issue" on employee surveys. A true leader does not focus first on trying to be liked. A true leader focuses on the practices and communications that lead to being respected. A true leader does not try to become everybody’s big buddy, although he or she values being upbeat and cheerful in communication. A true leader is not overly concerned with always being liked and is even willing to engage in very uncomfortable conversations in the name of being straight and thorough. A true leader does not try to downplay responsibility for leadership.
