"Great leaders" are natural salesmen

You might have an idea on what I'm talking about here. If you thought that leaders are usually sales people, that's partially correct. If you thought that leaders are natural slave drivers that spend a lot of time thinking how to sell Viagra without letting its buyer determine its dangerous side effects, then you are partially correct. If you thought that leaders have the ability to lure you to the exciting career and the wild ride of your life, and make you believe that you are in the right place without any ambiguity, then that's what a great leader is all about.

There will be a lot of instances that you will suddenly feel either of the following:

1. I don't find any value on things that I'm doing.
2. The things that I'm doing are either rhetorical or something that my pet dog can eventually do.
3. I don't know where I'm going to, how do I move forward, I'm confused and my sex drive has been degraded as well.

On these instances, a great leader would feel the energy to dive into these situations and reap the best out of your mess (which will make your leader look good). And even though great leaders are the most egoistic clowns that they are, they would still have a "concern" for you and would have the most epic conversations that could possibly make a wasted employee retain.

That's a dangerous situation. If you have been talked out by your great leader out of your mess, then you've just sold your soul to the creature that is more evil than the devil. Here are some signs that you're already being talked out and is slowly transforming you to the extra terrestrial species that you are becoming:

1. Your leader would say that you are important to the company and your loss would be very drastic that the best flowers in the world won't be pollinated by bees and won't bloom anymore.

2. If you have a concern that you're not being paid well, then you're boss will make you want to realize that you can have all the money in the world, but you won't be satisfied with the way you're living and zombies will always eat you alive and your dreams and you will always be haunted by ghosts in your head that you will eventually explode and you will experience a nervous breakdown.

3. When you feel that you're not going anywhere, then you're boss will simply put you to "administrative" / "managerial" role because that's where useless creatures with less potentials will be safe without any impact to the company's delivery. Eventually, because you are so heartbroken and you feel that your sex appeal will be boosted by this non-impacting administrative role, you will still accept it and your boss will be worry-free from your tirades that could cause tensions.

In the end, great leaders wouldn't want tensions coming from attrition, because it lessens their sex appeal and they won't have a vast selection of people they can potentially have sex with. That would be a very bad story for great leaders when their slaves are leaving.

Now, that's what the sales people.

Rather, great leaders could do.
