How Leaders Can Push People Into Action.

The difference between a boss and a leader is that the former says “go” and the latter says “let’s go”.

There has been no eminent leader in this world that has not spearheaded his organization with his own example. A leader, in actuality, is not just an elected personality, but is someone who has proved himself; the one who has expounded to others that he knows how to govern.

The first step that a leader must take to push his employees to give their best, rather than inducing them in torpor, is to encourage them to mull over his great vision.

It is a conspicuous fact that people can’t give their best in something they are not passionate about; hence if a leader wants to embark on a fling of  success, he must make sure that he invigorates an uncanny passion in all of his employees. He needs to make sure that they acknowledge his passion for his project. He can’t sit idle in his cabin doing nothing and expecting others to do the requisite work. The best would come only and only if each person in the gamut of the project is inspired by his leader. The paragon profits can only be achieved when every employee finds it a pleasure to work with their leader and deems the leader as the exemplary person to lead the project. They must be certain that they can confide in their leader because he is not just an attribute-hopping person but is, in fact, someone who knows how to ascribe his team for the progress they make and concede his failure whenever they fail. Rather than creating a virtual chasm between their cubicle and his (leader’s) cabin, he must learn to fill lacunae in their relationship and then only the best can come.

One more thing that a leader needs to know is the nuance between being bold and being a bully. There is always a thin subtle line between being “strong’ and being “rude”; being “bold” and being “bully” and the whole game is about distinguishing them correctly. If a leader is too weak, he will become a laughing stock and if he is too strong, he will be considered nothing but a cantankerous bully. On one side he needs to make all his people feel comfortable under his guidance, he must make sure that none of them is having any issue regarding anything pertinent to the project and on the other side, he must also be an expert in getting all the works done on time. Even if he is compassionate but fails in his assignments, he will lose the respect of his colleagues as well as teammates and who would love to work with something who fails the whole team repeatedly!

He must learn to develop an indelible bond of understanding with his teammates but he must also not shirk away from being a man of his word.

The challenge of leadership is to:

Be Strong but not rude

Be thoughtful but not lazy

Be humble but not timid

Be Proud but not arrogant.
