Unexpected Office Politic

It is a bit of shock to me that i have involved or even triggered an unexpected office politic. And, it is even more scary when i get to know a person can suppress his enmity months - waiting to attack! It is always not a good idea to over protect subordinate (just because you are his direct report) and stab others especially peers just because you want to survive your own peoples or to show your territory. Nevertherless, if it is a security or safety violation, it will ruin the subordinate's career path (being caught and expelled from the company) due to the direct report compromises some illegal matters.

It does not help the subordinate, instead it is extending the subordinate to more violations unconciously. Is it a wise action to revenge your peers by compromising your subordinate's career? It is good feeling when there is a chance that you can retaliate others. However, it is not a good idea if you involve your subordinate and sacrify his career path just because of the good feeling!!!

Guess, to be a leader, it really needs a better or higher EQ to tolerate on others comments, and feedbacks. And, it is also important that do not take the comments personally, heartache for months and years, just because waiting for a chance to revenge.

Life is short, enjoy, and take comments and feedback as a gift to be a better person!!!

Somehow, i deeply sympathy the subordinate of this person! It is just like a kid is not doing right, yet the parent is blaming on others to protect his own child. It will spoil the kid instead of helping the kid to improve. The kid is innocent, enjoying the 'love' of the parents does not help his future. It may ruins his entire life!!!

Wake up! Please be a responsible leader!
