What makes a good leader?
<p>My grandparents always thought managers were evil. Even if I call them “leaders”. It does not change a bit.</p>
<p>The managers stand above all the people in the company with the whip, ready to strike anyone who is not in line with the company process, who comes late, who starts talking instead of working hard, and who wants to leave earlier because of the kindergarten. They do not talk to the team out of passion, they just split the work, set deadlines, control every bit of what is being done, and punish everyone as people do not deserve praise.</p>
<p>Explaining modern leadership in this context by saying “it's similar to management” does not help. So I started from the ground.</p>

<h1>Why do we need leaders?</h1>
<p>Some time ago we were used to a dogma, that only managers know everything. And we even expected them to know everything.</p>
<p>However, we are coming to a realization, that it’s not the management. It’s not the few who know everything. It’s the people, regardless of their role. So how do we make sure, that the people are heard and they have space to share their experiences, think out loud, experiment, fail, and learn, and thus help the organization to evolve?</p>
