The modern crisis of
character in leadership is alarming because to a great extent, leaders
determine the direction, security and prosperity of cultures, societies and
nations. The following notion exhibits the central role of leadership in human civilization.
ü Nothing happens without
leadership. Leaders establish government, start businesses,
make scientific discoveries and advances, disseminate religious and
philosophical ideas, and other wise foster human culture.
ü Nothing succeeds without
leadership: Leaders develop ideas carry out endeavors, and
keep projects going.
ü Nothing is altered or
transformed without leadership. Unless an individual
or a group of people begin to think differently or act differently, circumstances
usually remain the same—or become worse.
ü Nothing develops without
leadership:. Leaders take initiative to implement innovations,
build on what has come before, and expand on prior successes.
ü Nothing advances without
leadership. Leaders are enterprising and forward looking. They
are often eager to enhance a society’s quality of life through improved
efficiency, greater convenience, and the introduction of new products and
services.
ü Nothing improves without
leadership. Leaders see potentials in situations and
conditions where others see no hope and no vision of the way things could be.
ü Nothing is corrected
without leadership. To fix errors and solve problems,
someone has to take responsibility to see that adjustments are made. Leaders
help societies to make a course correction when they have veered onto a
destructive path.
Leadership
is therefore key to human preservation, growth and change. No matter what
condition a society or nation finds itself in, it didn’t arrive there by
accident. Someone led them there.
Every
person on earth is being guided, influenced or manipulated by someone. Directly
or indirectly, consciously or unconsciously, we are continually being led by
those who are our official leaders, as well as those who have become our de
facto leaders by their influence over us. That is the foundational elements of
positive and effective leadership. Countries, corporations, institutions,
organizations, departments and so forth will be effective and successful only
insofar as their leaders are effective and successful.
