A leader is an agent of change, and progress is about change. In the words of Robert F Kennedy, 'Progress is a nice word; but change is its motivator.'

Leadership is about raising the aspirations of followers and enthusing people with a desire to reach for the stars. So, what is the essence of leadership?

Taking the lead

idea posted by Disha Roy Lecturer, St Xaviers College

At some point of time we're all called upon to be leaders like,  if you have children, people reporting to you at work, friends who confide in you - leadership is required of you. You might not call it that, but that is what it is. Above all, we're called upon to lead our own lives.

Yes, we're called upon to be leaders and few wish to shoulder the responsibility. Most normal people will look to someone else - if not for leadership, then for blame. It's the bankers' fault that my business is under pressure - it's politicians' fault that my standard of living has deteriorated - it's the system's fault that I didn't get promoted. Get up off your ass - start promoting yourself! Surely you're meant to take the lead in what is, after all, a lifetime for which you can write your own script.

Taking the lead, which includes everything, is the essence of leadership.The leader should be a role model for others to follow him. Thanks for the referral Ms.Disha roy.

A leader is the one who leads by his actions. He "showcases" (in other words teaches, both in words and actions) his experience for others to see and follow. He is the one who is able to manage and lead his life very well. In the process he creates other leaders.

A leader is the one whose Thoughts, Words and Actions are the same.

In fact, that is what the founder of Sikhism intended. That is why we call the followers "Sardar" which stands for leadership. Those persons who lead their life in a good manner and in the process help others lead their life in a good manner too is called "Sardar" or leaders. Remember, life has many vicissitudes that one has to overcome in order to be successful. And the idea is to over come all these difficulties with a happy and never say die attitude.

LEAD FROM FRONT

idea posted by S. Muralidharan Executive Director, Knowledge Foundation & Campus Around the Corner
Leadership can't happen staying put in an Air-conditioned room sitting on a reclined chair passing orders, or in a Television Studios (that's what many of our modern leaders do) or dining and wining in five-star hotels or watching Cricketing Events getting the media glare! A leader should be like Mahatma Gandhi - "Dandi March" is a glaring example!

As Mr. Muralidharan said a true leader love to be in the midst of his followers and bold enough to take the lead.

Ofcourse, this has no meaning in the present day political leadership of the land. Leaders are being imposed. In our representative democracy people elect their representatives. These elected representatives have to prove their leadership qualities. Unfortunately, they are a failure till date. We cant call them leaders.

What is Influence?

1) A power affecting a person, thing, or course of events, especially one that operates without any direct or apparent effort.

2) Power to sway or affect based on prestige, wealth, ability, or position.

The communist leaders like Stalin, Mao, spoke of change and progress they achieved it too, by influence and rigid control, created a bipolar world which witnessed huge bloodshed.
Today Scams are the script of the day; (In India) Do you like it? No... are you opposing it? Who is leading? Easy said, it’s like a few people getting together to stop a 150 tonne ABB electric loco. This is a mechanical analogy of what you wrote. You can stop; Sabotage is no good way of life. Scams are economic sabotage.

I guess President Roosevelt said "you want peace get ready for war", how ruthless leadership is, it’s the experience of World War II.

This what we have, what is it that you are professing?

Ownership

Ownership not for fruit alone, but for failures first, and foremost. Ownership of well being and growth of the team.

Servitude

idea posted by Mathew Cherian Research Associate/Analyst, Western Michigan University

If one cannot consider oneself a servent of others one cannot lead them.

Basically there are 4 types of leadership styles.

1. Leading by objectives

2. Leading by targets (almost similar to 1)

3. Leading by examples

4. decentralisation or delegation

5. Matrix organizations like Hi tech firms where teams work horizontaly.

Leadership reality!!!-sad part

idea posted by Smitha Nair Executive Search Associate, TerrAgni People Consulting
Leader is someone who stands on his/her decision(a strategical one) and if something goes again it he /she should show the courage to say that "yes i made them do it" and why i did it is, because of this. But now a days what happens in corporate world is a leader will take a decision and most of the times based on his/her successful dealing with it in the past and in one off situation when it goes completely "kaput" he/she will start blaming the team who execute it and fight against them from different angles. I would never call this leadership..

idea posted by Jaygopal Raghavan Marketing Manager, Landmark Group
A leader has to set an example be it in work, play or motivation etc. A leader should be able to command respect and deliver when someone look up to them. A leader has to rally around the masses and unite the team when the chips are down. A leader has to show the way with a new strategy when all options meet a dead end.

FORMULA OF LEADERSHIP

idea posted by dulal kanti choudhury manager(credit & operations), State Bank of India Group
Leadership is a matter of intelligence, trustworthiness, humaneness, courage, and discipline . . . Reliance on intelligence alone results in rebelliousness. Exercise of humaneness alone results in weakness. Fixation on trust results in folly. Dependence on the strength of courage results in violence. Excessive discipline and sternness in command result in cruelty. When one has all five virtues together, each appropriate to its function, then one can be a leader-SUN TZU

Helming the boat in storm and in calm waters!

idea posted by Debashis Gupta Head - Control Assurance & Risk Management
A leader is called upon to don different hats at different times or at different stages in the evolution of an enterprise. During times of rapid growth in changing environments, a leader should be able to lead the process from the front and build adaptability and dynamism in the enterprise. Equally, in times of more sustained but perhaps slower growth, the leader should be able to consolidate the processes in the organisation (for instance, by building robust governance processes) to prepare it for the next phase of rapid growth.
