I got a copy of the latest Maxim U.S.A. edition magazine from a friend. And it makes me proud to be Malaysian to see the below advertisement.
Fellow Americans are able to “rise” to the occasion through this oral supplement… maybe they can now recognize Malaysia on the map whenever they popped the pill.

Leadership books usually discuss about characteristics of good leadership. So, today I’ll talk about bad leaders. People in position of leadership usually think of themselves as good leaders. In reality, there are good leaders, just so, so leaders and bad leaders. Specifically, I’ll talk about a particular category of bad leaders, i.e. nasty leaders.
Nasty leaders subscribe to what I term as toilet paper leadership. The essence of toilet paper leadership is that people should be treated as toilet paper because they are to be used to either make the leader look good or to clean their *##@#. To understand toilet paper leadership I’ll contrast them with good leaders. I’ll refer to good leaders as passionate gardener leaders.
Toilet paper leaders are typically self-centered. They are opportunists and are mainly concerned with their own interest. They will use terms such as “common goals” and “mission” to disguise their intentions.
They rely on impression management to impress their superiors. But their subordinates usually can see that these leaders are not concerned about the organization. Passionate gardener leaders see themselves as servant leaders.
It is not that they are not concerned about personal gain. Like a good gardener, these leaders are concerned with the beauty of the garden.
These leaders see their goals as something to be attained by honestly working for the organization. They create winners out of everyone just like the gardener ensuring each tree turns into a beauty because they believe this is the only way to make the organization win and attain their own personal goals.
Passionate gardener leaders know that when the contribution of their subordinates is recognized, the credit will also naturally come to them. No need haggle over it.
To toilet paper leaders working smart is about taking advantage of people. When something good is done by their subordinates they will step in front to take the credit. When something bad happens they will put the subordinates on the firing line, especially when the bad things happened as a consequence of the leader’s action.
Twitter is a social networking site. On this service, one can choose to “follow” the updates of people who interest you enough to want to know what they have on their minds. Often, when you “follow” someone, they will reciprocate. This is called “being social” in Social Networking.
However, some are just using Twitter as a way to broadcast their own agenda, and really have no interest in their followers, beyond how they can make money off of them. There are “self-claimed internet gurus” out there who preach on how you can get 30,000 new followers on Twitter. There are several systems out there, but they essentially boil down to 3 easy steps.
1. Follow a bunch of people you aren’t currently following.
2. Eliminate anyone who isn’t following you from your list of who you follow.
3. Rinse and Repeat.
Step number two above is very enlightening. “Un-follow” anyone who hasn’t followed you back! That means you aren’t following someone because you care what they have to say. You are only following them because you want them to follow you.
There are actually services that help you “scrub” your followers list like that. This makes such social networking no longer social, but rather a poor attempt at targeted advertising.
Believe me, 90% of all of the alerts that you get are from people that are part of one marketing scheme or another. I’m not one of those self-claimed internet gurus; but I felt this practice is unethical.
