Day 21: Be a People's Champion

The text emphasizes the importance of compassion and power in leadership. It highlights that a true leader, like Lord Vishnu, possesses both qualities. While compassion allows leaders to forgive and understand their followers' shortcomings, power enables them to protect and guide.

Lord Vishnu's incarnations, such as Rama and Krishna, exemplify this balance. They experienced human emotions and limitations, allowing them to connect with people on a deeper level. This quality of empathy is crucial for leaders, as it enables them to understand the needs and concerns of their followers. In essence, effective leaders must be both compassionate and powerful. They should be able to forgive and understand, while also possessing the strength to protect and guide. By combining these qualities, leaders can inspire and motivate their followers to achieve great things.
