People often talk "be a leader,".... but what does that mean !
How do people know how to act as a leader when no one defines it for them? There is a simple mantra that defines leadership
Here is a small story to make you understand in brief ….One day one nine-year old girl and her two brothers (seven and five years old respectively) were playing with neighborhood friends. Out of the blue, both brothers came running home upset because the girls in the group told them they didn't want to play with them. Father of the three was puzzled. Wasn't his daughter also in the group? How could she allow these girls to tell her younger brothers that they couldn't also play in the group? Why didn't she defend her brothers?
He sat down with his daughter and asked her about what had occurred. The bottom-line was that the popular opinion of the group was that the boys should not play with the girls. However, daughter acknowledged that she did not agree with the group's opinion. She thought it was wrong, but she did not say anything because the popular feeling was that the boys should leave. Thus father made his children understand that they need to be leaders instead of a follower. Great advice was given, but if you don't know what leadership is all about, how can you put it in play? ..........by ANON....fwd by GUIDE
