The LEADER who can STIR people

A leader is sheer, brutal energy ....of the MIND. We don't need to go into Thermodynamics or the Science of Conservation of energy to know Energy is not something we can create. Einstein did throw this fact at us a long time ago that Energy is only transferable. Not something we can incubate, watch, nurture and bring life. Leadership is a potent and volatile subject. As potent as physics can be and as volatile as chemistry. With every passing decade we are learning more and understanding more on the subject that has fascinated mankind so much.

Innately all men ( man or woman- more men than women owing to role based thinking and aspiration ) desire to lead. Lead men, troops, followers, teams. For women who hold this unquenchable thirst they lead families even if not a battalion of the military forces. Regardless of gender one who wants that place as Leader - will be a disciplinarian, a teacher, a speaker and a directional light house leaning on ideas and philosophies that govern the focus for self and others as well. Every Leader has to be adhering to some values without which they cannot stir nor move people. Just what is a leader, throwing light on and where are they directing people, depends on the moral, ethical and spiritual maturity of the leader. This is why deep and strong leaders take people to a higher level of evolution and philosophy while hollow but strong leaders take their people to plunge head down...willingly. I have been fascinated by the power of leadership and what outcomes it can bring because it is the energy of ONE HUMAN mind that alters so many others and brings to life a vision the most energetic and passionate one held. A passion that is vetted by logic that is sellable, buyable and then believed in with such fury and conviction that every follower marches in the faith and belief of what is borrowed. 

A leaders VOICE is the most potent  voice there is among all that walks on two legs. We have a history that is soaked in human blood whose pages you cannot turn without smelling the strong iron content of all that red that flowed. Hitler was a leader. So was Idi Amin. So was Genghis Khan. These may be Leaders gone awry in our mature, humane, learned eyes that search for sensitivity, higher goals, responsibility to civilisation and Human Rights. But fact of the matter is they were exemplary at something, else they could not have rounded up so many who were willing to sign on the dotted lines, pick up a sword or a gun and die for a cause that is injected from the outside. Potent is Leadership. Can be invigorating or intoxicating. Either way it is the blind people who succumb while such a Leader achieves their objectives.

I studied the pattern of all such errant leaders who present age and time rejects and debunks on Leadership. Found an interesting trait. All were outstanding, profound, ridiculously good speakers. They had great command on language, literature, vocabulary and were artful FLIRTS who flirted with their audience, paying attention to those spots in their being that hurts and is hungry. By feeding them hope, pride and some promise they filled up all that was festering in the minds. A leader who knew what people will love to enjoy, sells them a vision of exactly what they dream in that grey cell sitting behind all the active ones. They invariiably were powerful speakers with VOICE< Tone< Inflection and amazing ability to use all Figures of Speech. Exaggerations through hyperbole,  Metaphors, Similies and whatever worked in the moment. Their artistry came alive behind a mike. And with that singular creativity of the tongue they moved MINDS.

I am no way glorifying a negative Leader but by studying these guys I am convinced a Great Leader of the modern time can pick up quite some many tips. To excel and to be able to engage, inspire, lift the people in how they feel, emote and ACT does require some wild impressive energy. That same energy that transfers from a Leaders Mind and Body to the Spirit of the listener. In my theory Mind and Body can be affected only when Spirit moves. The listener cant experience the Spirit of a Leader but absorbs most of that from What they hear which is the working of the mind and what they see which is the working of the body. This is when the listeners Spirit if forced move - which then moves them in Body and Mind too.

To undermine the Leaders Voice is to kill all your chances of Rising as a Leader. The research and findings shared here are part of my upcoming book - Arrows and Bows.
