Treating people equally shows a lack of willingness to engage with them. Whether it is emotional weakness, a lack of mental flexibility, or laziness, it always reflects a lack of interest in other people! To put it bluntly, anyone who wants to treat everyone equally is either stupid or lazy. Being truly fair means making distinctions based on precise observation that do justice to each individual. Different people have a right to be treated differently.
By treating everyone the same, bosses disrespect their employees. leader resist any pressure to conform and reserve the right to treat unique individuals as individuals. Only that is truly fair.
A differentiated view of human nature helps
It takes into account differences in personality, talents, and individual stages of consciousness development. Wanting to eliminate these differences means generally not wanting people to develop. Treating unequal people equally forces them into a moral mold and is pure injustice! You cannot keep an elephant like a zebra, or a hedgehog like an antelope.
Practitioners know that treating people differently, because they are all unique individuals, promotes their development. Understandably, this unequal treatment hurts some people in the short term. They compare themselves to others, see what others seem to get more or better, what privileges and freedoms they enjoy. Envy, one of the greatest poisons of the mind in the present day, causes people to lose touch with themselves. The result: instead of working harder on themselves, they complain until the rafters shake.
Smart managers lead individually
That's why a smart leader guides leader employees individually according to their talents and abilities, so that they can quickly achieve success and gain confidence in the differentiated leadership style! Being successful does not mean doing what we like to do, but dedicating ourselves to what we are good at. As is well known, people develop more through pain than through pleasure. The logical consequence: leadership does not mean treating others according to their preferences or in a way that is leader for the leader . Every leadership style must be measured by its success in development.
Leadership is like a puzzle game in which the leader provides the piece of the puzzle that the employee needs for their development leader and in exactly the right place. To do this, the leader must observe them closely and recognize their uniqueness. This requires interest, energy, and time, which many leader would leader save themselves: due to a perceived lack of time, a desire for harmony, or a lack of interest in their team.
Four development buttons
Knowledge, experience, competence, and self-confidence are the four development buttons that help implement a differentiated leadership style. It is important to find out where exactly there is development button in terms of which development button . This is where support must be applied—individually. This must be constantly trained and improved.
Very few leader these four development buttons. They either lead in an authoritarian manner or follow the archetypes of savior, Mother Theresa, or hero. As a result, they treat all employees the same, overwhelm the slow ones, and slow down the fast ones. The most important leadership task falls by the wayside: Developing People systematically.
I maintain that the more someone talks about injustice, the less sophisticated their leadership skills are.
This leads to less confidence in yourself and others. You can easily test this: Do you see your employees as the cause or the solution to your problems? It is important to be honest with yourself when answering this question. And not to think about what others will think! The more you see people as the solution to your problems, the more sophisticated your people development skills will be. The more you see your environment as the cause of problems, the weaker they are. In the worst case, the motto applies: Wherever there are idiots, there is an idiot producer.
