Leadership is 'Everywhere'
Here is a short reflection on the qualities of a "Leader" I happened to work or rather 'dance' with in the recent past. We all came together to perform a stage dance show and I was keen to observe one person among us, who displayed most commonly found Leadership qualities. Siddu, who is relatively much younger to me impressed me upon the way he dealt with situations, people and ideas. -
?? He ideated the program and had a vision for the team.
?? Coordinated, considering everybody's time and quickly helped us all to arrive at common idea
??Brought everyone together on the idea and helped all to buy-in the idea
?? He stood strong for the resistance which came across and displayed that, Leadership is not a popularity contest we may collect few enemies along the way when we stand by an idea
??Continuously inspired the team to stay on course and improve performance
?? Appreciated the ideas of all efficient people in the team and took a stand to reject outright when few ideas may jeopardise the main purpose
?? Made the journey a fun process
?? Kept his calm during arguments in the team
?? Finally gracefully accepted the result and passed on the good feedback to the team.
The Team is as strong as the LEADER and as weak as the weaknesses he possess!!!
