We read a lot of posts about effective leadership, transformational leadership, autocratic leadership, participative leadership etc but they all focus only on a leader.
The men and the women they lead are never discussed about by any leadership guru and we know how they need to transform themselves to be a part of the team that is successful.
A successful leader is partly made by his or her team members too and we forget this fact and gives credit to only the leader.
A team needs to be participative, creative and undergo a transformation process to orient towards a leader and his or her vision. Success may be a result but the process to achieve it, is equally important. That process is not a one person’s effort.
An individual can be a successful person – a doctor, a sportsperson, a writer, a musician etc – but they are so because others have helped or motivated them to bring out their individual brilliance to the world. Their followers or admirers push them to secure that status for a long time to be remembered by all.
Let us spend some time how do we create such people in a team. Change in attitude of individuals bring about change in willingness to work for a cause or objective. Skills do matter but it is again a change in attitude to learn newer skills is essential.
A man creates his own destiny by his willingness or unwillingness to accept change that determines the course towards a successful outcome. That’s mindset every individual should ideally possess.
Let us debate 😊
