"The first responsibility of a
leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the
leader is a servant."— Max DePree
If you search in Google you get half a
billion hits on the term ‘leader’ and ‘leadership’. It shows the interest
people show towards these terms. You will find a million definitions on
leadership. But here is my own description of a leader:
Leader is the one who brings all
people into one platform and manage their emotions, egos and feelings to
achieve the desired objectives and goals. Indeed, it is a tough task for ordinary
individuals to do. But it is possible only for leaders. Additionally, leader is
the one who serves others, not self. Therefore, if you want to excel as a
leader, keep others’ interests above your interests. Sacrifice yourself for the
welfare of others and serve others to stand taller and stand out as a leader.
This entire process is easier said than done. That is the reason why many individuals
cannot excel as leaders but only a few excel. Hence, acquire the attitude and
personality of leader and mould your behavior accordingly by emulating other
ethical leaders to leave a mark behind for others to follow.
"Before you are a leader, success
is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about
growing others."— Jack Welch
