On the day of induction of newly promoted managers, the trainer asked, "Who is the finest leader you have seen in your life?" What leadership skilled you have learned from him?
All the participants raised their hands. Somebody was influences by his last supervisor, some by the learning and development person and many have shown the fascination and influence of the company's leadership. HR department was the role model of some in many. There were also the followers of public leaders, saints and some dare to share the name of some political leaders for influencing their life.
The reasons were vivid from the interview style, the reporting system, the way of sharing the knowledge and personal experience. Some had shown the fascination for the body language and dressing sense. Achieving targets was the reason of many role models. Many have shown their confidence in regular promotions of the leaders and some were followed for their connection in the management. The list was long including the number followers and large public voice with them.
Seen them raising their voice collectively, trainer was trying to find out the lost voice. The voice which he had seen very calm, a calm listener. The voice which was a silent spectator of all the happening since morning. His smile was saying something else. As it were a competition of hypocrisy and pseudo praising of somebody. Taking the attention of the class, he pointed him and asked, May I know your name please?
I am Raghav.
Don't you agree with all these people and their experience?
How could I not, Saurabh! This is their experience. I am listening and learning.
Don't you carry the similar experience? What's about yours?
Saurabh, "respecting the leadership of all the learned people, and trusting the experience of wonderful co mates, I have some different. My leader is the person who has transformed my life. Given me a vision. She is a lady of respect, honour and pride. Eventually she haven't attended the high school in her life."
There was a big laugh all over. With surprise and a symbol of curiosity and trust, Saurabh asked, Is it so?
Yes, this is right. She always said that leadership is not in books, academics, positioning high, authority or knowing, it's in people and their deeds. Truly it can be understood by followers but not in counting but through their actions. She had two pet saying. "Between saying and doing many a shoes are worn out" is the first and second is "People may doubt what you say but they will believe what you do. "
She had never found any mistake or error in the acts of her people but in her actions and decisions. She had never monitored the activities of any other for the call of trust and confidence. She was a lady of conviction that where the monitoring is required the teaching is not complete. Take the people for their age and experience. The place from where you visualize the action of others is far above and ahead of their stage. Evaluate what you were doing when you were in their position or stage.
She is my mother.
She taught me that leadership is nothing but empathy, love, encouragement and trust. Leadership is building relations and realizing dreams.Leadership is winning, winning of people, winning over all the fears and doubts, winning without making anybody loose. This winning is winning together.
