Lead ERR Ship

Every century or epoch of time see certain words take strategic focus and research. Manufacturing was the buzzword in the mid 20th century and towards the end of the 20th century globalisation was the byword of almost every other individual. Similarly the start of 21st century has seen much of focus on two famous words, Quality and human skills collectively called the Soft skills.

Human skills in itself is getting a new dimension almost everyday a new behavioral aspect getting added in the corporate compendium. I wonder how the vishwamitra and the jesus Christ lived in the A.D’s without having analysed even traces of these behavioral traits.

Among all soft skills leadership adorns itself as the most basic and essential quality to be possessed by a person who wishes to be most successful in his life. On past experiences and learning’s leadership is one quality that does not associate itself with being academic. By academic I mean being stead forth in education. Almost all successful leaders who stand as embodiments of success in the corporate arena have failed miserably in their initial schooling. But on further insights they all have enough reasoning and maturity to learn from mistakes. Hence Lead ERR Ship is to learn from mistakes or errors. And to make mistakes or errors you need to take risks. And risks you take should be prefixed by an interesting word ‘calculated’. To take calculated risks you should reason out yourself on the future. The reasoning should come from one’s gut feeling and artifacts of success painted by people who have been successful. Today leadership as any other sift skill is mistook in a very decentralised sense. Every manager who tries to just co-ordinate a team of 10 without any efforts or adding value through innovation is considered a leader. A key term to be associated with every leader is innovation. If a person leads a rut he can never become a leader. This misnomer of being a traditional leader without risking needs to be cleared. To be succinct a person who tries to achieve excellence of a few dollars through process or product improvement is a leader as against a person who tries to stay insulated from experimentation and keeps reeling on the same income.

To conclude leadership should be broken down to three important constituents. Learning from errors, reasoning out from your insights, learning from outside and gutsy to take risks, but calculated risks and …….. on a lighter note fail during your school :).
