The silent leader as opposed to the loud leader


Why are the silent types the best leaders? Because they let their achievements make the noise not them making their own empty noise. Many are easily taken by a leader who is loud, loud in the sense that they want their subordinates to know what they are doing.

However, loud leaders are generally empty inside they don’t think deeply. They act without careful thought of the consequence of their actions. They base their actions upon their whims and caprices and the popular demand of the subordinates that they govern.  What is important for them is to feed their bloated egos and to satisfy the popular demand of their subordinates. And when they are already able to feed their egos they now think of the consequence of their egotistical and thoughtless action/s.  

Upon musing of their thoughtless  actions they will come to the realization that what they’ve done was not right. Therefore, embarrassment and swallowing of pride comes next and the loud leader is exposed as incompetent, all noise and fury without any intellectual bite.   
The silent types of leaders are those who think profoundly and they think in advance. They are always head and shoulders above the rest. They get the job done albeit silently they don’t make noise to advertise their achievements they rather let their achievements and accomplishments make the noise for them. 

Silent leaders are also the humble ones, this don’t mean that they think less of themselves they rather purposely don’t highlight themselves. They don’t want the spotlight of leadership solely focused on them they want it focused on the entire organization that they lead.  

Do you have this silent type of leader in your organization? – Maarino J. Dasmarinas
