The Leadership

I always admire great leaders of History & some leaders of today's generations irrespective of which side they are right or left(Wrong) but i really look up to them
and try to learn from their stories & interviews.

i work in a software firm & my previous organisation we working on one of the good project and client was happy with our work but as a professional we were not feeling satisfied because during project we were not be able to learn new technology.so,we went to our manager expressed our concern & conversation heated up manager said "SOME HOW I HAVE TO RUN THE SHOW".personally i didn't like this attitude i understand there are constraint for manager but he should have conveyed the same massage different way.Here i found the difference between Manager & Leader.




Lord Ganesha is great symbolic leader ship icon in India & Look at the picture above Leader should have quality like that.Few points i would like to add here...

Big Head: Long range thinking power

Small but sharp Eyes: Leader should see pain point of every followers

Large Ears: He should listen to even a small followers

Big stomach: Able To digest Everything & any kind of conditions remain strong in front of followers.

Half Tooth & Full Tooth :Half tooth symbolise that Leader Might not know the minor detail of subject/problem but second full tooth symbolises willingness to resolve a problem.Leader may not have in depth knowledge of subject but willingness to resolve issue is necessary.


To be a great leader requires to have above mention quality other wise they end up being manager & in future i would like to be known as good leader rather then a Manager.

Recently i came across a nice conversation between Mr. Narayana Murthy A great leader of my generation ,i always look up to him for inspiration & spiritual guru Mr Deepak chopra.It was about Leader ship & success.

Please check this conversion on Leadership Mantra which truly an inspirational & highly motivating.
