Solution

One should consider someone's behaviour towards their subordinates to define them. Indeed, a reasonable saying! One's behaviour towards other people reveals one's nobility of nature. From the divine perspective, everything is equal. A mistake is hierarchy enforced by selfish brains. Beyond themselves, they cannot see. Sadly, some people believe they are better because of their social rank or job position, which leads to arrogance in their contacts with subordinates and neglect of human rights, efficiency, and reputation. None of us live alone; our successes are entwined with the people who support us. Whether a president, minister, general, business magnate, or otherwise, none acts in a vacuum.

Human resources are what organisations, companies, and countries live on. Therefore, our treatment of individuals is quite important. Good relationships help to promote good behaviour. The contributions of a happy and fulfilled subordinate to common goals multiply. He does not have to labour under pressure or with force. People management is mostly responsible for the success of any company. The leader who says "Let's go" instead of "Follow me!" shows great people management abilities and goes a great further in obtaining real commitment instead of only compliance motivated by fear.

Respecting the subordinates, acknowledging the work done and rewarding it, providing clear channels of communication, going beyond to understand, and supporting and backing them up in some circumstances would help and earn their cooperation and appreciation. Mahatma Gandhi is a shining example of this strategy; he inspires by example and lets room for personal participation. Together with setting an example, a common vision promotes teamwork and project success. We are what our subordinates create of us; and we are what they see. The manner one treats people who are guided determines one's degree of character and the level one teaches.

The ones who had trained for so long to complete
one by one they all turned around and went back to help him
And brought the young boy to his feet.

The hundred-yard dash now reduced to a walk
And a banner above that said (Special Olympics)
Could not have been more on the mark.
That's how the race ended, with nine gold medals
They came to the finish line holding hands still
And a standing ovation and nine beaming faces
Said more than these words ever will.
