Leadership

Leadership can not be taught in business schools. It is more practiced and learned in organizations. How much of it practically happens? How many leaders are actually grooming their people to become next generation leaders? Look at the growing number of head hunters to find those exceptionally well business leaders and are always behing these highly skilled executives. Look around you, the MNCs are now filled with foreign CEOs who are filling the vaccum of good business leaders.

How many managers in Indian companies are able to groom nexgen biz leaders is a big question for me. Leadership skills can not just be transferred in a 10 session classroom. The leader has to take his team through a consistent set of values he/she believes in and stick to them during all times. Honesty, belief and trust create the right environment for leaders to grow. A leader must dream of the impossible and make it happen with his team. Always keep the team inspiring and let the team dream of high aspirations. I really really wonder how many leaders or people managers actually practice this !!
