LEADERSHIP
Who exactly are our leaders?
They are the bosses, owners, supervisors, foremen,
managers, or directors who tell employees what needs
done, when it needs done, and ensure employees have the
resources needed to get it done. In essence, they are thepeople who tell you when to come to work, what to do
while you are there, and when you can go home.
Lead by example; not by intimidation.
Make no mistake though, leaders can also be those peoplewho arent placed in a position of leadership, but have
gained the respect and loyalty of co-workers, associates,
and customers. This is the highest level of leadership,
because it isnt commanded by job position or directed by
management, but has been earned by the ability of the
person to be attentive, sympathetic, and helpful to other
people.
Good leaders facilitate improvements not changes.

R.A.R.E.
Good leaders should be R.A.R.E. and not hard to find (rare).
Respectful
Accountable
Responsible
Educated
Being in charge doesnt excuse the actions of a leader. You
must be respectful of the professional and personal feelings of
both your bosses and your employees. You must be accountable
for any decisions or actions you conduct or direct. You must be
responsible when using the resources you control including
employees. You must be educated to the level necessary for theposition you are filling either through formal schooling, on-the-
job training, or a combination of the two.
Law of Numbers
If someone is over tasked, they willdo one of the following:
1) Complete all tasks in lesser quality.2) Complete some tasks to standards, the remaining of lower quality.
3) Complete some tasks and leave the rest unfinished.
4) Complete no tasks at all.

F.L.O.P.
Good leaders dont F.L.O.P. when employees have good ideas.
Force
Lead
On
People
The person with a GREAT Idea shouldnt be burdened with its
development and implementation, unless it is in their area of
expertise and responsibility, and they have the desire to pursue
it. Many leaders tend to force the lead on people who come up
with the best solution. If it is something worth doing, direct it
toward the section or personnel who should be doing it (notnecessarily the ideas originator).
"A bad boss is like a snake in the grass.
You never know where they are;
they have no ears to listen with;they strike without warning;
and everyone is a target, even other snakes."

C.A.R.E.
Good leaders should genuinely C.A.R.E. about their employees.
Concerned
Aware
Reasonable
Empathetic
There are many things you should be concerned about involving
your employees, but their physical well being and personal
happiness are by far the most important to them. You should be
aware of both their professional and personal needs/wants; be
reasonable when considering requests from employees; andempathetic when employees are having a rough time (either at
work or in their personal lives).
KYMS Syndrome
Tread lightly when reacting to the inputs and/or complaints of subordinates.More often than not, they will begin to believe your policy is to Keep Your
Mouth Shut!

U.P.s and D.O.W.N.sGood leaders build UP subordinate's self-image
instead of tearing it DOWN.
Useful, Practical
NOT
DisOrganized, Worth Nothing
Subordinates should feel good about what they do. Supervisors
should task employees with useful and practical tasks for their
level of knowledge and experience. If you overburdenemployees, their work can become disorganized and they may
feel at fault. If you do not challenge, develop, or properly use an
employees skill set, they may feel they are worth nothing or
have no value in the organization or work place.
Often Praise is better than Seldom Promotion.

H.U.M.O.R.H.U.M.O.R. the opinions/actions of subordinates.
Humble
Understanding
Mature
Open-mindedRelaxed
There are times supervisors should humble themselves when an
employee is more experienced or has better ideas than their own.
Supervisors should understand that everyone has a different
perspective on what is happening. Supervisors need to remain
mature and not act like children when subordinates disagreewith them. Supervisors need to remember that open-minded
means actually "thinking about" a subordinates ideas.
Supervisors need to stay calm and relaxed when subordinates do
not agree with their opinions or direction; over-reacting can
cause more harm than good.
Tell-Tale Signs
If the Captain insists on staying with the ship, but all the rats are jumpingoverboard, then the boat must be sinking.
Think about why employees are willing to leave your organization?

Rules for Supervisors
1 -Listen
2 -Think About It
3 -Direct It
4 -One-on-One
1. LISTENDont just hear what your people are saying; listen, feel, andcomprehend the message they are trying to convey. Pay close attention
to both the words, gestures, and feelings.
2. THINK ABOUT ITAs the leader, you are responsible/accountable for the decisions being
made, but dont forget to give the most consideration to those people
who must suffer the impact of your decisions. The most weight in a
decision should belong to the people who must deal with itsimplementation.
3. DIRECT ITIf it needs to be done, get it done! Dont be afraid to have people do
their jobs. After all, isnt that what they are getting paid for? The best
workers shouldn't get stuck with all the work.
4. ONE-ON-ONEPraise in public, punish in private! Enough said. When was the last
time you publicly praised an individual for all their contributions to
completing the tasks at hand?

FOLLOWERSHIP
Who are followers?
Any person who has a boss, supervisor, or leader is a
follower. They are the clerk, cashier, technician, server,
handler, stocker, sales person, janitor, or worker who
performs the tasks placed upon them daily or as a
specified reason for their employment. In short, they arethe people who get the job done each day by producing
the services or products under the supervision and
management of others.
Though most bosses are themselves followers, their role
as a follower is much different than as a leader. They
may not do the work themselves, but they must ensurethat it meets the requirements of their own bosses; that
production occurs at a satisfactory or profitable rate; and
that services meet or exceed the demands of the customer.
Personal Value
The difference between "trying to be important" and "being importantbecause you try" is the difference between "putting yourself before others"
and "putting others before yourself".

S.I.K.E.
Employees should be S.I.K.Ed (psyched).
Sharing Information, Knowledge, and
Experience
More often than not, organizations have too few "real" Subject
Matter Experts (SME). Occasionally, the SME is a result ofhard work, dedication, initiative, and motivation. But most of
the time, SMEs are nothing more than Secret Knowledge
people. They rarely share information, knowledge, and
experience so that they become more powerful (needed) than
other employees. What they fail to realize is that the more that
people in the organization know as a whole, the more efficient
(and profitable) it will become.
THE TRUTH NEEDS TO BE HEARD!
When the "focus" of the receiver is only on the delivery, then all that will be
heard is silence.
In warfare, the focus needs to be on the delivery.
In human affairs, the focus should be on "receiving".

F.E.A.R.
Employees should be F.E.A.R.ed but NOT Afraid!
Freely
Empowered
And
Recognized
Employees should not be afraid to Speak Up against bad ideas
or policies, and should feel free to suggest new ways of doing
business. This stimulates involvement by employees and a
higher commitment to the organization. When you empower
your people to do the jobs they are trained for, they become
more productive and relieve some of the burden onmanagement. This is often hard for many leaders, as they feel
they can only depend on some of their people, if any at all.
Recognize the individual ability, initiative, and motivation of
each employee and empower them accordingly. We all may be
equal, but we are not the same.
Knowledge is more powerful when shared with your team,
than when hoarded and hidden to brighten your own gleam!

A.C.E.s not D.U.C.E.s
Be the A.C.E., not the D.U.C.E., of confrontations
Apologize if rightfully accused
Change your attitude if needed
Explain if justified in your actions
Disrespectful of other people
Uncaring of others' feelings
Critical of others' opinions
Embittered by others' decisions
It is very important to have good working relations with both
your bosses and your fellow employees. We should all strive to
balance our own thoughts and feelings with what is necessary to
maintain these relationships.
The path to truth is a straight line, but sometimes youhave to dodge many sticks, stones, and fists to get there.

Rules for Subordinates
1 -Shut-up
2 -Think About It
3 -Accept It
4 -No Witnesses
1. SHUT-UPSometimes you just have to shut your mouth and listen to what someonein a leadership position has to say. You dont have to like it or agree
with it, just know when to be quiet.
2. THINK ABOUT ITSometimes its not a matter of right or wrong, but of who is the boss and
has the responsibility and accountability for the decision being made.
3. ACCEPT ITIt doesnt do any good to be ticked-off about things that you cant
change or dont agree with. Life goes on. Accept the decisions of your
leaders, but voice your opinion at the opportune moment if it becomes
available.
4. NO WITNESSESIf you need to holler, hit, or kick at something, just go outside by
yourself and scream. If you feel like doing something stupid to feel
better, DONT! The way your peers and leaders view you is very
important, and nothing or no one is worth doing something wrong
(illegal, inappropriate, or unauthorized).

About the authorRic Hardlee spent several years working in industrial manufacturing,learning to follow directions and observing leadership techniques of
many different foremen, shift supervisors and plant managers. This was
followed by a career of active duty military service, for a total of almost
30 years of experience as both a follower and leader. Early on Ric
learned to adapt to the well structured and disciplined environment of
the military. During his tenure, Ric directly supervised and managed
hundreds of different people with just as many personalities and
character traits. He was challenged with more personality types andleadership styles than you can imagine. This booklet is a culmination of
all those years experience following leaders and leading followers.
