“If your actions inspire
others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, YOU ARE A LEADER”.
- John
Quincy Adams
Recently I have seen the engaging
conversation between our admired, honored & prominent personality Mr. Narendra
Modi- the Prime Minister of India & Very Famous "Apki Adalat" fame
Mr.Rajat Sharma-Chairman of India TV on 4th May 2019.
It was a memorable moment and I
was lucky to catch this momentous time.
Apart from political discussions,
I have observed and try to understand the working style & behavior pattern
of our respected prime minister. With due respect I am not able to write down
all the qualities of such a great legendary personality. I just try to learn
something from him and I came to know some of the considerable qualities of an
Effective Leader which I would be glad to share with you.
1. Encourage Team with Action not
merely by Words:
The main Quality of a real leader
is that they inspire actions. But ever we think how any leader inspires actions?
or how people follow any leader ?People
never follow instructions for a long time. They only follow the footstep of
their leader. Mr. Narendra Modi Sir always takes actions for inspire their team
and create a balance between his words and actions so that he encourages his
team. He manages himself in such a wonderful way that it becomes ideal for
everyone.
2. Extreme Confidence:
Confidence is the primary key for
success in any stage of life. Modi Sir shared many incidents of his early life
and said that I have never thought that I will become what I am today but I
have full confidence in me and things go on. In 2014 before election he was
told clearly & confidently that He will become the prime minister. It was
Narendra Modi’s strong confidence level that won him the election and became the
Prime Minister of the country. Confidence is a characteristic that everyone
struggles with at one point, but for an effective leadership skill one should
develop the vital ability of Confidence. My Favorite motivational GURU Mr.Santosh
Nair says that Confidence is the internal ability so everyone can build it for
become a leader.
3. Credit Giver & Organisation comes first:
I have noted that in every speech
of Modi Sir, whenever he get any recognition or honored he always says that
"It is not for Narendra Modi as a person It is for my Country" Just
like him Every Leader should be the credit giver for any little success or achievement
to the entire team and vice versa always be ready for taking responsibility if
there is any problem or failure.
The thought process of a True
Leader is Company/Organisation centered not self centered. He should be always
seeking benefits of the organisation first. Personal Benefit is least concern
for a Leader.
4. Never Build any Perception:
During the conversation of Modi
Sir, he was asked that as he met with the Presidents of many countries, Have
you research about them in advance? He gave
amazing answer that about researching of any person in advance it will create a
certain perception about that person and it is not the reality. So he
never research about any person and never build any perception which is based
on the other person's thinking or experience. He further added that He will first
meet and experience anyone and then create impression of them. So I feel everyone
should learn from him is that not to precept about anyone depending on any other
person's experience or opinion and this is the quality of an impressive leader.
5. Balance in all Relations:
The other question he was asked that "You have develop relations with all countries presidents, Then
how you maintain a government's strategy in dealing with their nations & Relations
with them? He gave very interesting answer that" I use Mind when I am on
the table and use heart when left the table." This shows us to balance
with work life and personal life and how a leader should build relations with
all the team and how he can get the work done from the team.
I sum up with that The True Leader
is a person who can take people on their goal. People follow the leader because
they couldn't reach on their goal with their own. Leader is a person who knows
the way, goes the way and shows the way and has the capacity to convert vision
into reality.
What do you think about it?
What other ideas can you add to
this list that I may have not mentioned?
If you find this post is useful, I
had be very grateful if you spread by sharing in your groups & Team.
