Roles and responsibilities

 One key thing in managing projects is having clear roles and responsibilities.

But what would happen if leaders just try to delegate everything to others? What is the leader's role? Is it to motivate, to encourage, or to show the direction?

For some, the answer is all of it. For other leaders is to not be involved at all and just give direction and disappear in the way of others.

But when this happen what are the leader’s role and responsibility and do we still need such leaders in 2022?

The thing is middle management is going extinct, more and more roles and responsibilities are assigned to the low level of management so if the time comes and someone ask you what would happen if we fire you and your answer is nothing, than you are in a trouble.

It’s better for you to define clearly your role and responsibilities before someone else makes you obsolete.

The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
