Leadership training teaches soft leaders to be stern

Being a leader comes with it perks and also its downfalls. I am a leader and there was a time I was under a lot of stress because my people were not doing well at all. I was even made to appear before the board of trustees and explain why I was the only leader who was not delivering. That was not something that made me sleep well at night. That is when my sister coaxed me in to going for leadership training. She told me that I am a very soft person and did not look authoritative at all and that is why the people I was in charge of did not take my leadership attempts seriously. My sister is the only honest person in my life and I took the advice she gave me and made it practical. The training was an eye opener. I learned one thing that is making me a brilliant leader and there are positive changes. Since I looked soft, I decided never to negotiate with company employees when I told them to do something.
