"Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked,

leadership is defined by results not attributes." - Peter E. Drucker

 

 

I

Common — is not what others expect from a leader, one has to be extraordinaire or par excellence to be a great leader;

However, admittedly I am a far shot from these exquisite adjectives.

I am rather a product of a "well-done-is-better-than-well-said" paradigm;

Ergo, I take pride with the valuable contributions I've laid down, started, innovated and planned o'er and o'er;

Furtherance, I regret I can no longer give my 100%, but rest assured I'll be supporting the new lead in every way possible!

 

 

II

Doing undeniably stressful tasks was never in my system nor vocabulary,

O'er the years, I was more of a great follower — but, almost always, my teachers, community leaders and mentors pointed out the leader potential quietly nestling within;

Conscious or not, I always tend to pull off next to impossible tasks within the sidelines!

Remarkable things happen whenever I assist my leaders, never expecting anything in return;

Overjoyed, but never took it seriously, nor put it in my cerebrum!

Moments that count are what matters the most;

Simple wins, simple joys — simple things that make a simple heart boast.

 

 

III

Since I took the challenge in October of 2020, when things were uncertain amidst the pandemic;

I stepped up —  led the organization into moving forward, setting guidelines, and putting up protocols.

Guided and honed — hopefully, I’ve imparted valuable learning to our newbie DMDs; Also spearheaded —

Notable and significant seminars — letting my colleagues learn from the best lecturers was the goal.

In the same way tho’, I've somehow learned that truly you can never please everybody,

Not all that you plan and set, will be favorable to all, yet as a leader you need to listen and weigh things out —

Giving in is sometimes the bravest and toughest decision you'd ever make.

 

 

IV

Of all the things I've done, accepting the challenge and learning along the way was the "bestest" experience ever;

For all its worth — I firmly believe that "well done is better than well said."

For in the end, the last 3 years, I know I gave my all, no regrets — just honored and grateful for the opportunity to have served the 4 walls of Urban Smiles as its Chief — now signing off.
