We always hear about managing people or an organisation. But, that is not the crux of leadership.
Developing long term strategy or rolling out new initiatives sounds attractive, but their impact is only felt on execution.
Demonetisation & the lockdown were excellent initiatives by PM Modi but objectives couldn’t be met as people at grass root levels failed to execute effectively.
Instead, create the right environment & support the growth of your team so that it will be led by the right emotions to achieve goals & long-term progress.
An insightful story narrated by Sameer Sinha in his management college during an alumni meet brings this out nicely.
He began by mentioning that he was led by two different kinds of bosses at the start of his career.
It is up to you to decide which one of these will be your role model.
