You have understood nothing of leadership if you don’t understand the term “Be the change you want to see in others”(Mahatma Gandhi) To manipulate others is like trying to control the wind and the waves. Managing yourself is to adjust your own sails. So if you wish to use the wind, change your sails (change yourself).

Amongst the greatest warriors in the world were the Samurai, the Gurkha, the Tuaregs, the Beduin, the Commanche, the Mongols, the Spartans....to name but a few. An earmark of these class of warriors were the ceaseless infighting that kept them at the top of the game in times of peace. So it always took great leadership to bring them together in times of war. But when they came together they were invincible. Empires have been built and lost on their backs. Great leadership has never been about great systems or great organising abilities, it has always been about bringing together improbable allies and implacable forces into one's force.

For Networkers : Leaders are made, not signed up…

For Corporate Management : Leaders are made, and not hired…

For Parents : Leaders are made, and not inherited…

Leadership is not a talent, nor a skill, nor is it genetic. It’s a mindset.
