It's In You!

Leadership is defined as the ability to motivate and lead a team of people to perform a task efficiently in a specific time frame. From this definition we can get two qualities that is the ability to motivate and the ability to lead, but there is much more to leadership. A lot of people misinterpret leadership with dominance, which is not true. If a person can cohesively drive his team to complete a task, he is a leader in his own way. Leadership is the art of making the impossible ‘I-M-possible’.
History shows that leadership is the pioneer quality which has driven many movements and initiatives to a fairy-tale ending. Mahatma Gandhi was a leader for our national movement for Independence. He used simple but yet effective techniques to bind the people of India to fight the British for Independence.
For every activity there is a need for a leader to give direction to the team in order to keep with the objectives of the task. A team without a leader is the same as a ship without a captain hovering around the ‘cape of good-hope’. It is obvious to say that the team and the ship are sure to sink. Therefore, a leader is critical in guiding a team to the finish line.
Leadership is an inborn talent which is difficult to acquire, although not impossible. Learned people are not necessarily leaders but what makes them a leader is how they communicate with people and how best they achieve their tasks in hand utilizing their scarce resources.
