Leadership Stress
The past week has been HELL in the office.  I remember in the leadership congress that I attended last month, one of the key points was, "A leader first touches the heart before he asks for a hand".  My new boss should've been the one to attend that congress.  Then maybe he'd learn some basic leadership principles.  Don't get me wrong.  I can live with his I-don't-need-inputs-from-you-guys-on-how-to-run-this-project-even-if-I'm-new policy.  It's all a matter of putting up the right kind of apathy force shield around me.  What I can't take is his effect on the other project team members.  If I could just whack him in the head, causing him to at least realize he doesn't live in a vacuum and that he's not that good and well-accepted, then I'd be fine.  The thing is, I get pressure from senior management to help him adjust, to make this leadership change work.  And since it comes from senior management, the option of replying "But he doesn't listen!!!!" and "Why am I going to be accountable for a superior's action, when it will all roll-up to him when we do make this work?" is not an option.  I'm reaching my limit and only a few people know this.  Kung baga, Bi-Bingo na sya sa akin.  Konti na lang, pagsasabihan ko na to ng prangka even if I jeopardize my promotion chances.  Stubborn arse.  Pwe!!!!
