Leadership Simplified-53-Leadership Lesson from the Terrace-Part-1-Ant

Leadership Lesson from the Terrace-Part-1-Ant

After a long discussion with the Manager a Young Team Leader, came out with a sad face and he went to cafeteria on the terrace, in the midst of cold weather he picked up a hot cup of coffee to relieve his stress, while he was stirring his coffee he saw small Ant moving a piece of food that was left out, he just wanted to push the Ant and suddenly the Ant become bigger and bigger, he got up from his chair and moved back, the Ant said nothing to worry and told him to take his seat.

The young Leader with fear sat and asked who are you?

The Ant Replied “it doesn’t mind who I am. You look stressed, tell me what happened?”

The young Leader said “what can a small Ant do for me?

The Ant came closer and start biting him

The Young Leader started rubbing his hands and said “I will kill you” and he tried to catch the Ant, but the Ant stood opposite him like a giant and said “tell me your problem, I will try to give some solution”

When the Young Leader sat down, the Ant become smaller and called him to come closer to narrate his problem.

The Young Leader said “My Manager said, I am not leading my team effectively”

The Ant asked, “did you Ask your Manager, what is his definition of leading a Team effectively?”

The Leader said “I didn’t, but I was proving my performance & putting across the things I did as a Leader”

The Ant said “Never convince a person without understanding what his definition or purpose is

behind making a statement, it only leads to an argument”

The Young Leader smiled and asked “how do you know this”

The Ant said “we do observe people”

The Ant said it is time for me to end the discussion because I need to keep working to stay alive, but let me tell you some simple Leadership Lessons for the day

Worries are like Ant bites; the more you keep rubbing the more it hurts you, Leaders do not focus on worries they focus on growth and development of self and others.

Sometimes you magnify the problem, like the way I looked in front of you, which also scared you, A true Leader will convert the problem smaller by magnifying the confidence he/she has

Final word, you asked me what can a small Ant do, a True Leader never underestimates anyone, he/she knows “Everyone might not know everything, but everyone will know something” Seek something from others, it is like the Small piece of food, we keep moving for the rainy day, one day that “something” will help you in your crisis

The Young Leader went closer to see the Ant, the Ant turned back and started moving its food, he said Thank for the wonderful Lesson, the Ant turned with a smile and said “My friend crow wants to tell you something and the young Leader turned back to see the crow”

Crow said “Welcome to the Leadership Lessons on the Terrace”

A True Leader Clears his head and keeps his heart clean

Being Jaby is being a fine human being.

Being Jaby is being a fine human being. L&D Global Chennai Chapter was instrumental in bringing Jaby closer to my heart, our journey was not too long, but it was filled with fun, humour, joy and learning too. When Jaby was present, dullness was absent. He filled the hall with his sense of humour, and his thoughts were deep-rooted in bringing the best out of every human. Jaby was the most admired person in any forum; when Jaby picked the mic, the audience pulled themselves to the edge of the chair. Jaby was casual in his appearance, but he was a thorough professional everywhere. During COVID, if there was one person whom I counted on to help people, it was Jaby; his car was filled with masks, sanitizer and an oxygen concentrator.
