Yes Boss !

Almost every person doing a job has atleast one member in his hate-list. No points for guessing, its obviously one's boss. But this is not always true. Very recently I had an opportunity to work under a person, though for a very brief period, for whom at the end of the day I myself only with words of praises for him. As a matter of fact, he wasn't my boss but his leadership just drew people on their own to follow his instructions. His knowledge about the subject was thorough, and his visions extremely clear. He persona oozed with confidence. People just paved the way themselves for him to lead. I want to share one of the experiences I had with him.
Well, the background first. We were in the early stages of commissioning a unit. One of the other plants of the company at a different location already had that unit in operation. He being familiar with operations of the unit was sent at our location to assist our process. Now its only his third day in our plant and every one is ready to trust him, and everyone is asking for his opinions. Well on his third day, while we were about to leave for home after work the 'superboss' ordered us to start one of the equipments of the unit. Now, there was many process parts of the equipments which were either not completed or were not checked if they worked properly. But we had orders from superboss. Nothing, He figured out a solution under given circumstances and started instructing us on how to go about it in a very organized manner. It was as if he's been here with us for a long time. Our bosses who've been here since the very starting and some even more experienced looked up to him. And indeed the equipment was started without any hiccup.

The thing I want to make note of is that a person with true knowledge and good leadership skills doesnt take much time to make people realize what his true worth is. Here, among all the people it was he who took the charge, when there was no need for him to do so. He was the center of co-ordination for this entire operation. From a foreign element at out unit he transformed himself to an integral part in no time. It was really a nice experience working under him. Working under a good leader always motivates you. One should consider oneself if he has a good leader to lead him in.
