Leadership Lessons from Village
Life-Part-1
While writing these leadership series, I was
thinking what I should write more to keep this series going successfully and this
thought took to me to my childhood days which is not complete without my
village. Presenting my childhood thoughts in line with this Leadership Lessons
If the people in the city needs to keep the
hand in the food, the farmer needs to keep the foot in the soil,
This one sentence is enough to establish how
important are villages in our life. When villages can play such a vital role in
our life, the same village also has many Leadership stories to share. The forthcoming
series is based on my experience in going to my village during my childhood
days for vacations or our family religious gatherings.
Lesson-1-Values: During one of my visits to my
village, I remember an elderly person who volunteered for a discussion and got
introduced, after sometime I asked my grandmother, “who was that person?” and
she gave a long lecture and concluded by telling “If you come to the village
very often, you can know your relatives better and stay connected with your
roots”. I did not take it seriously and just went to meet my other relatives.
While writing this Leadership series, now I can relate this with the corporate
world.
True Leaders connects with the roots to
understand the culture and the background behind which the organisation
operates, by doing so they become value driven and they inspire subordinates to
understand the organisation better.
If the roots are strong a tree lives
longer, similarly if the Leaders keep the foundation strong the organisation
lives longer
