Living Leadership

Leadership is the ability to see ahead, 
take courageous stands and inspire others, magical ability to persuade and inspire others.   

Leadership happens between people in a particular situation or moment, it is a social process; leaders play  roles for and with others, sometimes as hero or scapegoat, looking for opportunities amidst their dynamics.  Leaders have to connect with people to become effective.

Leadership is context specific i.e. context within which people are working.  Leaders cannot transfer in their business environment, organizational culture, people and group dynamics in the way they hoped.  Leadership is subtle and situational.  Leaders are real, not wearing masks or preteen; uses all their humanity, intelligence, their emotions and intuitions.  They play a role that suited them.  Coming alive to the moment is also another ability i.e. focusing on the people in front of the other pressures. 

 “Leaders command respect because they are real, passionate, hardworking and committed but not perfect”
