WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER?

'The only test of leadership is that somebody follows'.A leader has to be acceptedby the group which the former is suppose to lead . to gain empowerment , the leader should cause an emotive impact on the group members .Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity thatcomes from the heart and considers the hearts of others.
'What does it take to be a leader ?' is a commonly asked question.Herewe are not political leaders but the people who were able to influencethe minds of thousands of people and bring a about difference in the society.Gandhi for instance was a man with a strong will power and with his determinationhe drove the Britishers out of our country !! Hitler had the power of speechwhen he spoke the world listened .Thus a strong will power and the power of speech enables the leader to develop habits essential to successfulleadership.We are all familiar with saying 'where there is a will there is a way'.an individual with iron will , will have the stamina to stick to his decisionsand tasks no matter what the odds maybe.
A character exhibited by leaders inspires followers to achieve worthwhile things.A leader needs to assume the role of a guide.The leader is the negotiator within and outside the organisation and he shapes people and moulds theircharacters.he has to mould his followers with his frame of mind. to achieve this the leader should maintain equanimity.Equanimity is keeping oneself poised and balanced all the time.
leaders are often mistaken as managers but there is a vast difference between the two . Managers are usually concerned with onlytechnical functions of the organisation whereas on the other hand leaderinspires and motivate to people to do there job even under pressurised circumstances.Leaders are the ones who vocalise their followers needs .

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

When family hurts: A tale of love, loss, and liberation

In the shadow of the Jasmine tree: Breaking free from a toxic family In the decaying splendour of Eyrevale Manor, Elara battles toxic parents, rekindles forbidden love, and questions whether she can escape the chains of her upbringing. Under a canopy of jasmine, secrets are shared, hearts break, and truths unravel. Set in an enchanting town, this story examines love, loss, and the painful pursuit of self-discovery. What happens when home feels like a battleground? No one warns you how heavy a homecoming can feel when the word home means nothing to you. If there is one universal truth, it is this: not all homes are sanctuaries. For some, they are labyrinths of unspoken grudges, passive-aggressive remarks, and familial obligations wrapped in barbed wire. My story, dear reader, begins in the sweltering heat of Eyrevale—a coastal town so humid it could curdle your very thoughts. And for me, Eyrevale wasn’t just oppressive because of its climate. No, it was the family home that truly choke...
