As we are entrusted with higher roles and become Captains in our respective fields, we find ourselves thrust into ultimate leadership roles. Ones that decide the fate of our teams and the Organisations/ Business.
The theories, courses and jargon don’t help. Our readiness to lead depends on our past experiences and how closely we have imbibed from leaders good and bad on our way up. These learnings and our innate leadership traits, reflect in the compassion that we show, the broad shoulders that we have to absorb the slip-ups of our team mates, the steel beneath the velvet glove to take tough decisions when the chips are down, to lead by example, to show-up and lead from the front- come rain, sunshine or personal grief, the professional space that we give our subordinates to excel and grow, the genuine interest that we take in the personal growth and lives of our team members, to never throw our juniors under the bus, the ability to walk the talk; all these and more would measure one’s worth on the leadership scale. It’s finally our team and the results that we deliver, which decide whether we are /were, good leaders or not!
