Do you recall watching some sports teams who are always full of energy and vigor consistently, even when the chips are down? Have you ever wondered what inspires a collective group of people to give their very best at all times? One can speculate that team leaders play a big part in ensuring all team members are motivated and enthusiastic at all times. If so, how do team captains retain their sense of composure amidst all the expectations to be successful and not let failures get to them?
Leadership is an art, and not everyone can motivate others let alone themselves. What are the qualities that make a good leader? Is it higher competence in a chosen field or the ability to visualize a long-term meaningful goal with a clear plan? Or the ability to connect more deeply with people?
Regardless of the various ingredients that make a good leader, one could clearly see that the ability to inspire other people is a key factor. What inspires different people may vary, so leaders may need an ability to understand what motivates different people so that they can lead and engage accordingly. Some team members are excited by working towards a particular initiative they care about deeply while others are motivated by achieving excellence in a certain field or by finding a role model to emulate.
Can one consciously work on his or her personality to become a good leader? Does one need to be in crisis situations in life to grow as a leader, or can leadership skills be built gradually in the course of daily life?
Listen to Sadhguru elaborate on the three essential qualities for a leader and what enables a leader to bring the best out of a certain group of people and life situations. He talks particularly about the need to upgrade oneself before stepping out to lead others when all eyes are keenly directed towards you to scrutinize your every success and failure.
