Yes much better than the schools influence! I see the word influence backfiring on the system eventually and actually feel that word has already caused a great deal of damage in Singapore's population, if that is what is being taught. People need to inspire to gain respect, not influence.macaroonie wrote:Hmm

By the way, people do not change. Once a slave always a slave.
People are who they are. Some aspects may come to the fore under differing stimuli, but real change can be bet against one million to one.
Well I did give my own opinion rather than an objective one, because this is all about my daughter learning and not myself. And why it's interesting to see the forums results on a one word for "leadership"nakatago wrote:Word.ksl wrote:Yes much better than the schools influence!

I wanted to say "hubris" just to be cynical and sarcastic but I guess I'll be with the choir on that one.
Hn. Backreading. You sure did use inspiration a lot.
Thing is, this is Singapore, er, I mean, Asia. When they say "influence," they really mean, the leader says what he believes and everyone below shuts up and just goes with it.Asdracles wrote:I kinda agree with "influence". A leader makes influence in his team, sometimes good, sometimes bad. But I prefer the word "guidance" with a similar idea, but a softer meaning.

I couldn't agree more, that's why i am posting this link http://www.leadersdirect.com/leadership.html , though i was well informed of the difference, more than 25 years ago, the British military have seen a significant change in autocratic organization too. Victorian methods are long gone in many commercial areas in Europe, though UK is pretty conservative with change, political dominance of the working class takes priority, along with keeping wages at a minimum to recruit investment.nakatago wrote:Thing is, this is Singapore, er, I mean, Asia.
