Leadership Counts.

Life always give you chance, chances for both the things, to duck away from the challenge and to face it and then win over it. If you know about the 80-20 formula which states that for consumption of any thing the 20% of the user will consume the 80% of resources and the 80% will use just the 20%. Same goes for the opportunities. Nearly 80% will duck away when a challenge will come up, and only 20% will get their act right to face it. One of the important aspect of success in this modern era is leadership. Why leadership? Answer is more simple then having this quality, an answer which we have been studying since time immemorial, but its an answer which had a different question attached to it, the question was; What kind of animal is human? And then answer goes as; Man is a social animal. Which means that man can not to most of the things alone and need people to help him. But its not that easy, to get people help you, and here is where the leadership comes in. You can go to any book shop and get n number of books on leadership, and you can swallow them endlessly. But I can tell you that none of leaders you see read them(barring few books which are just eternal classics on leadership). As I have mentioned the 80:20 relationship already, you can twist you nerves to come on conclusion that what we expect, ant what you should expect is to come in that 20% to tame those 80%. I will even go to the limit of saying that these are are the animals of burned and you have to use them. This statement should not taken in bad spirit, and neither it should be taken as an over spin from my side, as I am also in a path to learn to get an entry in that 20%, and thus we are on same boat. And when we are in same boat the best thing which we can do is to share our experiences, and make this journey more social. One thing which I have learned the hard way round, that leadership requires blood, just like a magnificent sword, you can give it during the process or it will take it at the end when you wait for fruits, and it hurts badly in the later case.

Since I think that the way presentations are put on RGPV’s main site is laughable in this web2.0 age thus I am putting them in more shareable and watchable way. I had put another slide show by our beloved VC, Dr. PB Sharma here, and this time its about the leadership and if you are counting my words, then watch it carefully and imbibe whatever it wants to convey, for one and only one very simple reason, it by a leader.
