:cool:
Want to know what do you mean by Leadership. Then take this Stuff.
THE SIX EYES OF LEADERSHIP –
1. INITIATIVE – You must take the 1st step. Others will follow. Don’t expect things to happen. Make them happen. This means ‘Responsibility ’. Accept full responsibility for all your actions. Don’t blame others if things go wrong. Also means ‘Accountability’ . Be able to justify your decisions and actions. It involves taking ‘Risk’ sticking your neck out even if it means breaking the rules and conventions thereby trying out new ideas and new things. Do what you think is right even at the cost of incurring the displeasure of others.
2. INSIGHT – Means a deep understanding of yourself, of others and the environment. Look deep inside of you and be aware of your strength and weakness. Similarly, find out the strength and weakness of others, convert your weakness into strength and likewise help others to do the same. Try to understand the surroundings of your work place. Be the eyes and ears of the organization.
3. INSPIRATION – Spring from your Vision , Trust and Passion . Visions are goals you set for yourself. Keep your sights high and make all out efforts to reach your targets. Trust is developed on personal beliefs, which come from within you. Passions are things, which are so near, and dear to you. When you are passionate of anything, you will automatically be inspired to fulfill your desires and dreams. To inspire others, first inspire yourself.
4. IMPROVISATION – When leaders improvise they use their ‘Creativity’ . They use their skills of doing things differently and not doing different things! We too have to get rid of old ways and innovate new ones. Innovation is making something out of nothing. To improvise means to be ‘FLEXIBLE’ . No place for rigidity. Must be able to adjust and adapt to changing situations. The clearer your vision, purpose or objective the easier it becomes to be flexible. If you cannot reach your objectives by the straight road, a little zig-zagging could help. Look and listen, as this will help you improvise.

5. INVOLVEMENT – Means getting actively involved in the performance of each individual member of the team. Encouraging them to share in your thinking and be apart of your vision and obtain their commitment. Take them into your confidence and they will automatically confide in you. Leadership is about relationship with your team members creating a working partnership.
6. IMPLEMENTATION – It involves taking ‘ACTION’ on all your plans. We must plan our work and then work our plan. Planning involves deep and clear thinking. Must take into consideration the views and opinions of others before implementing our plans. So far as possible stick to your plan but do not be too rigid. If circumstances demand be prepared to change to suit changing needs.
