Leadership with a Strong Character

Five things which can cause huge short and mostly long term damage to any organization are its cultural elements, which are inculcated in its people over a period of time. These elements which can corrupt the environment of any organization are:

1. Hunger for gratification & power

2. Responsibility avoidance

3. Lack of trust

4. Setting personal goals ahead of organizational goals, &

5. Inability to develop others.

We all are animals, hence by default might possess all (or some) of the above listed qualities. But only people who act beyond their immediate concerns surpass these bad behaviors become leaders with strong character, not just by position. 

Standing Out!

|"Criticism comes to those who stand out."

Post written by Anshul Gupta. Follow me on twitter.

This is an ugly fact of life; that, those who stand out from the crowd would face the fire. Not because they are standing on the fire, but, they have made other people realize how dumb they are!

No first step is simple, neither the steps taken after; if they are taken in a revolutionary road. Standing out is never easy, but for those who love to, its never tough! But remember; As once said by Lincoln, "He has the right to criticize who has the heart to help." So ignoring those criticism which are fired with negative motive behind, is the key for sustaining the position.

Change is never easy. People are in shock mode when they hear something remarkable, or revolutionary. They defend, ignore, but later accept, when they feel that they can no longer criticize on the basis of same old dogma! Even the lion has to defend himself against flies.
