**For some time, I've been hearing people saying that I'm too soft; that I should scold my juniors....
But I don't believe that that is the correct way to proceed.
There is a fine line separating the too soft, and the too strict. I know I'm in the former.
But the important thing is to strike the line perfectly, whereby one is neither too strict nor too soft....and I feel that scolding puts one into 'too strict' section. Once you scold someone, they remember it forever, that they will always have that certain wariness or fear of that person. To strike that balance, one must be able to command their respect, but yet they do not fear you, and share their weal and woe, to be slightly independent and most importantly, to be able to survive without you. Once people are in the 'too strict' section, their juniors will not be motivated to continue on themselves. That, I'm not willing to risk.
Furthermore, as what I've said earlier, seniors must be able to ensure that their juniors can survive without them (in the metaphorical sense). I've once read a book that taught me thus (something very close to it) and I agree with it.
One must not just be able to just coach their juniors, but to ensure then to survive without them, to survive even greater hardships without them and even to coach THEIR juniors to do the same and so forth.. Those who can do what I've said are truly perfect leaders/seniors.
I know I can't do it, not yet, maybe never.
But can you?**
