A Leader is a good actor
Dilip Chirom *
There were ten friends who had been punished for coming late in the PT Ground by their PT instructor and they were given punishment for cutting the grass for the football ground and he left away by saying that he wanted to see them completed within 30 minutes.
But all the nine of them gave a damn about it and started gossiping while the last friend stayed cool and he said "Friends I am cutting the grass. Aren't you coming? We can finish it faster if we do it together."
Then he continued cutting the grass and he was enjoying doing that. His friends were shocked to see his friend enjoying by cutting the grass.
Soon they joined him after one another and they had finished cutting the grass within 30 minutes.
The person who initiated the task had shown lots of qualities:
He had firm determination for the task assigned.
He doesn't wait for others for someone to start.
He inspires others with his actions.
He enjoys the work and stay calm.
He doesn't blame anyone but he took initiative to correct it.
All human beings are same in every way but it's the presentation of themselves makes them unique. Right from the childhood they must be taught because it's not an inborn quality .
As soon as they grow up they will naturally become a gentleman and smart person. Nothing is eye catching as the hero who works hard in the movies and gives encouragement also. It's same like that only if we can apply our thoughts and mind and present ourselves to the best.
A young man of good behavior and clean dress who knows how to talk with people and some general awareness with commonsense is enough for becoming a good leader.
Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw said that He can make a leader out of men and he said "Give me a man with decency and common sense. I can make a leader out of him." So leaders are not born but they are made and earned. In Order to be a good leader we have to get an attractive quality which can inspire others with our actions and approach.
Leader's inspire everyone with their action and approach and they are not super human being but rather they are the person who knows themselves well and present themselves even if they lack in something.
If you are searching for "how to become a leader?", then ask for yourself where a leader is inside you.
A leader is the one who works for others and inspires everyone with his works.
Ask yourself that whether have you done something in your life which had inspired anyone?
