People who do not love their country are losing the best part of their life.

"Namaste India": Bringing all points of focus together
every day to accomplish our Independence. - Dr. V. V. Rao 

Here’s what I suggest we do on 66^th Independence Year celebration (INDIA) if we are really serious about awakening our inner leader so that we begin to see stellar in our life.

A recap on elements of leadership in a simple way.

“My way or the highway” leadership styles don’t play well in any organization, will result in a fractured culture, and ultimately a non-productive organization.

Leaders who tend to be more concerned about survival than growth won’t do well over the long-run.

Vision is far from the only characteristic of effective leaders, but it’s probably the most distinctive. Without it, there is no leadership. Poor vision, fickle minded, or a non-existent vision will cause leaders to fail. This is like the blind lead the blind.

Real leaders are accountable. They don’t blame others don’t claim credit for the success of their team.

Leaders who consistently fail are not leaders, while past performance is not always a certain indicator of future events. Leaders who lack performance and commitment always tend to hop organizations.

Leader who possesses empathy, humility and kindheartedness are signs of leadership strength – not weakness.

Leaders who lack discipline will model the wrong behaviors and will inevitably spread themselves too thin.

Leaders not accustomed to the needs of the market will fail. As the old saying goes, if you’re not taking care of your customers, someone else will be more than happy to.

Leadership is about change and influencing others to change. It’s focused on doing things differently because it’s all about implementing change for the great cause and not just for survival.

Leadership has little to do with charisma, the almost magical ability of some people to attract others. Charisma can be helpful, and it can hurt, as we have seen in recent years, when charismatic leaders led their organizations astray.

A leader who lacks character or integrity will not endure the test of time.

Now we are familiar with some of the apt qualities of leaders. Like the individual preferences, our leadership style is our preferred way of acting in a “leader-like” way.

All of us are capable of acting in many ways. 

The shyest among us will jump up in a burning organization and country and yell, “FIRE?” Still, there are ways we prefer to act as leaders, and when the chips are down, we are all the more likely to revert to our preferred ways. Those ways constitute our organization and greatly country.

Our human mind works through pictures. Every great accomplishment from climbing Everest, the most stunning inventions of the world began with a series of pictures set in the imagination of their creators. All great achievements began with visualization and they begin within the mind first. All progress is nothing more than an invisible dream made visible. So make time to close our eyes and waken our inner self and awaken the LEADER to save our country from corruption and scams.

We can do it by Voting and Electing a good leader.

Someone said “Show me a country, a company, or an organization that is doing well and I will show you a good Leader”
