Today morning Iwas thinking about leadership. Nearly 200 business gurus and management leadershave defined leadership. I had also observed very minutely 18 countries. "Change in the leadership style." is seen and feel byall of us. Leadership was very different in 1970 and in the year 2008,leadership is dramatically different. Even in different sectors, you findchange in leadership styles. Leadership is completely different in Armyand Not profitable Organization. Leadership is very much different in educationand Business world.
Leadership in Beijing - 2008 is shownby all of us. The way china have participated and organize the Olympics weremind blowing and matchless.
Leadership is demonstratedby Army of any country and Terrorist are totally different. Principle,Cause, Discipline, Civic sense, Financial benefits, human rights -policy arefound at 180 degree of these two different institutions. I had not findany match except dying. Both the organizations are leading and performing.OHH, YES!
Leadership ofpolitical institutions is also found unique. In Business houses we trainmanagers to create leaders at all levels. In politics, Leader isalways a leader and follower is always a follower. I had found thatpolitical leaders play with the emotions of the people. They are so good in findingout the emotions of people, and then they play with it very intelligently. InBusiness houses managers lead with intelligence and motivate people to performwith emotions.
Leadership isnever position or power or star on your sleeves and cap on your head and multicolour printed visiting card or revolving chair. It is always regardless ofpower. Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther king are the examples ofleadership. Even in home you are able to distinguish difference betweenpower and authority. Father most of the time lead with fear and mother leadwith love. Father is a power centre but mother is an authority. Leaders are authorities.They lead with WALK AND TALK formula, that's why they do not need power orposition.
Leadership isnot moving in an open car and receiving salutes from the citizens orcivilians but making those people ready to die for you.
You receiveactual certification and amount of respect in your absence. Whatever demonstratedin front of you is most of the time fear, not love.
How manyexecutives and managers remember you after your retirement or resignation?
How world willrecall you in your absence?
What people willwrite on your cemetery after your departure from this world?
Leadership for2020 is going to be very different. What will be Values, Psychology,Technology, Sociology, Business world and management world in the year2020? We have to prepare young children in classrooms for the year 2020. TRUSTme, it is going to be a great challenge for all of us. Right now how many of usare working on it.? How many of us have put up some amount of efforts afterthis huge task.
Leadership 2020should be taken as a mission of the all countries and futurologist should putsome sincere thoughts on it. I sought for thinkers and doers.
Each country hasto develop leadership 2020 cell and missionary team with empowerment
