“Become Leaders of People and not Managers of tasks” There was a time when the term “Manager” was easily separable from that of a “Leader”. His or her primary responsibilities involved: following top management orders, organizing and delegating the tasks to subordinates, coordinating with team members & analysing the team results, finally ensure that the tasks get done, and meet the expectation of the Management.

Most interestingly, the compensation that we further offer an employee on an annual basis is an outcome of the given ‘Feedback’. The thought is primarily based on rating and grading each person, in alignment with the past actions of an employee, for that particular year, which were a result of specific situations. Most managers blindly follow this practice, and forget that every action...
