The leader is everyone who (…)
Now review the answer. Your answer will determine how you see yourself and those around you in the leader’s position.
How many definitions of the word “leader” have you seen? If you can answer this question, you will know that everyone has their own definition of the word “leader.”
Yes. There are millions of tariffs.
I will show you some of them in this article.
Some of them say that the leader is the person who is able to develop a tight vision for the future based on his analysis and understanding of reality and past events, setting goals and motivating others to achieve these goals together. He also has the ability to know and analyze the skills of each individual in his team and put him in the right place.
Some of them say that the leader is the creative person who brings new ways; To improve work and change the course of results for the better.
And another summarizes his words with some analogy, saying that the leader is the one who knows the road map, not the one who leads the way.
How I wish that the leader had a sign that would help me identify him, a robe dedicated to leaders, or a star on the shoulder, for example, or even a ring on the hand.
But this is a figment of the imagination.
Because the surprise is that the leaders we meet on the journey of life are not inferior in number to the definitions of the word “leader”.
A father who sets an example for his children is a leader.
And the teacher who strives his students and implement what he says is only a leader.
A manager whose team achieves what is asked of them optimally is a living example of a leader.
In conclusion, if you want to know if one of them is a leader or not, do not look at him, what you will see in him are just attributes, but the reality of whether he is a leader or not, you will not see except in those around him.
If you see a community of successful people in achieving a goal, be sure that behind them is a successful leader.
Now answer the following:
How many leaders have you met in your life?
Do you see yourself as a leader or a follower?
More importantly, how many leaders have you met who are only followers?
I’ll stop asking questions, I save you, dear reader, a story that helps us understand who the leader is? Why do others follow him?
Ahmed is a young man who has been working in a company for three years. He used to help those who need help, and he does not skimp on information about those who need it.
Everyone loved him, listened to his opinions and even took them. One day, Ahmed’s manager left the company for another company.
The team leader’s chair became vacant, the company opened the door to apply for the position of team leader, and asked non-applicants to go to the general manager in a secret vote on the best applicants.
Ahmed did not apply for the job in the first days, but after two days he decided to apply, he has nothing to lose.
Ahmed went to the director’s office and made the intention to apply for the job.
The director welcomed him warmly, saying, “I know, Ahmed, what brought you to my office. You know that Professor Saud is the first in the position, but Professor Wael is the largest applicant. Sixty years will be soon, and Saud is missing one vote and wins the position, and here the voice has come.”
Ahmed could not speak after that, but signed the paper handed to him by the director stating that he had voted for Mr. Saud.
The day of Mr. Saud’s inauguration as the team leader came, and only the four who voted for him from the team came to congratulate him. Ahmed was absent from the scene as he was sick at home, and the other candidate and those who voted for him did not move from their places and did not congratulate Mr. Saud, here the manager realized that the team divided, and that the idea of voting was wrong.
The director met the four, who were angry at the result, and explained to them the reasons for choosing Professor Saud, and although he was two years younger than the other candidate, he was still an old man of nearly sixty.
One of the members replied, “But he is younger than Mr. Wael, as you mentioned! “
The director replied, “I know, but the issue is not age at all, but we also took into account the age factor, so the trade-off was between the oldest members and the two over the age of fifty, we never asked you to follow a leader of Ahmed’s age, for example.”
And as soon as he said it, the four members responded.
“I wish it was Ahmed” and “the other” I would support him with all my strength “and the third” how can I not nominate Ahmed? “
And the other stretched his lips, wishing to be Ahmed.
The director exclaimed, “Didn’t you object because the winner is fifty-six, and your candidate is fifty-eight, so how do you wish the twenty-five-year-old Ahmed would be a leader?”
One of them replied, “With Ahmed, it is different. Ahmed, sir, does not need to get old to lead the team. He is the most influential in us, the first to attend and the last to leave, he is the one who helps and solves, Ahmed is something else.”
Ahmed returned the next day after he recovered from his illness, and found the application paper for the position of team leader on his desk, on the back of which he wrote: “From the manager, I apologize that I did not notice that the team has a strong and successful leader who is missing only if the word leader is added to his job title.”
And to know, dear reader, how Ahmed reached the heart and mind of the team’s employees and became the compass they follow, I recommend you to read the qualities of a successful leader
