Want to become a Leader?

“Try to be a Slave first if you want to become a Leader” – Swami Vivekananda had taught us this golden truth. But now, our corporate mantra for leadership is, “Make others slave to become a leader”.

A leader is the one who,

1)inspires his team

2)maintains transparency

3)gives value to others feelings

Now, the perception and the definition of a leader have changed. A leader is the one who, discourages his team; maintains secrecy; and disregards others feelings.

If you are the person who cares for the others, then you are not the right person to become a leader, but a devalued team man. A successful leader will be ruthless when dealing with his potential leaders as well as rivals. He shows no mercy while overtaking them on the road to leadership. He shows emotions only to use them as a tool to play with emotions of others in his favor. He will alienate himself from others just to show off his independency.

Yes, the above said things are not exaggerated ones. Those who are working in the corporate companies know these things. To go up in a company’s ladder, one should have the above qualities. If you are a team man, it would be perceived as your incompetence. Teamwork is a definite no-no for the career growth of an individual. But it is essential for the growth of the company. So you have to master the technique of using Teamwork without involving in the team. This is called Team Leadership and Managerial skills.

For a growth inside a company: Even if you are confident don’t show any pity with a co-worker. If you already have a team under you, but still not confident in the work, you better start to give commands and get alienated from the communications with the team. With this you can hide your weakness and display a fake strength.
