The Qualities of Leadership
As a dive store owner or manager, there are things you can manage and things you can’t. Here are some the things that you can manage:
- Time.
- Money.
- Effort.
- Resources.
- Projects.
- Classes.
- Events.
Here’s what you can’t manage:
- People.
“Now wait just a damn minute,” you’re saying, “Of course you can manage people. Why that’s the very definition of management.”
Wrong. You can’t “manage” people because people don’t want to be “managed.” Would you?
So, if you can’t “manage” people, what can you do? You can lead them. Good people have shown time and again they’ll follow a proven leader. Are you that kind of leader?
Your local book store is filled with books on leadership. If you haven’t already done so, you should take the time to read them.
What we want to do in this article is look at some leadership traits that are unique to dive retailing.
