Leadership Lesson
from Friends
Friends are one of the great sources of Power; they
bring the best out of us and they add colours to our life. The moment we start
thinking about our friends there is always a smile on our lips. Let us
understand certain Leadership qualities that can be learnt from our friends.
Team Builder: Among our friends there will always be one person who builds
the team, let it be for a weekend outing or to buy a college book, there is
this one person who takes the initiative of bringing the friends together. As a
Leader we should always be instrumental in bringing the team together. Let it
be for a meeting or an outing, a Leader should be a Team builder
Talent Developers: Friends are the greatest source of motivation and they bring the talent out of us, our friends group was always the first set of audience where we performed at no cost and it is the same friends for whom we later give a complementary pass, but for our friends we would have not been a performer. One of the finest Leadership quality we can learn from this example is, always keep encouraging the subordinates to explore their talent by doing so, we will have champions who can create Champions
The Mediator: There is always a friend who mediates and clears the misunderstanding between friends, He/she always connects the friends with a larger cause called friendship which is important than ego, As a Leader we need to play the same role in clearing the misunderstanding between the team members by showing the big picture called organisation Vision and Team objectives.
Reflect upon your qualities as a friend, think about friends who have the above qualities, you can pick up some wonderful Leadership Lessons from them
Let the Memories of Friendship Unleash the
Leader in you
