Joe is a department head in a big manufacturing company, he
has been employed in that organization for ten years. He stared as an ordinary
clerk and he rose from the ranks through his hard work. Along those years he
built a reputation of competence, hard work and leadership by example. Therefore, wherever department he was
assigned he always gets the job done.
Is there a link between positive reputation and effective
leadership? Yes, there is an important link that exist between positive
reputation and effective leadership. For example, a manager who has a positive
reputation of competence, hard work and leadership by example would always be
an effective leader.
Why? This is for the reason that positive reputation can be
likened to an advance party, it always precedes the manager/leader. Positive
reputation warns the lazybones to shape up or he/she might be shipped out of
the organization.
A manager’s positive reputation has a ripple effect that
pervades the entire organization. Consequently, through unassailable positive
reputation the manager/leader would be able to transform her/his organization.
Hence, a person who wants to ascend in the organizational
hierarchy should always have a positive reputation. For the simple reason that this is her/his
passport to become an effective leader/manager. It must be like a shadow that
follows him/her wherever she/he goes. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
