That’s the word. Whatever we are that’s because of our choices rather consciously made choices!

Recently when our PM hugged and comforted the ISRO chairman there were a lot of ‘noise’ about ‘place’ for compassion in leadership. I suppose words like this sometimes are forgotten in the corporate rat race. Your blog brings up such ‘natural’ instincts back to the table. Each one of the leaders in your article have exercised their choices based on some instinct and keeping larger good in mind. Your writings helps me to keep my brain in ‘active’ mode. Thanks

Dear Vivek,

Excuse the delay in replying. I am in Italy.

Lulu your parrot has been wise yet again. Leadership is an end result when certain decisions are taken in times that make them very hard to take. It strengthens the person & the results of those decisions positively impact people around them. That’s what I garnered from Lulu.

With love – Zahid

Lovely examples to the age old question. Nature may bestow one with all the prodigal traits, but choices have to be made. We all have made many choices or squandered as many. I think it’s also the magnitude of the choices one makes.

True, the choices made by people, make them leader or otherwise . Some choices made and follwed to the core can take a person to greatness .To make any virtue part of life is a choice. To pursue a cause and take it to logical conclusion is also a choice.

Really very well written Sir. Thank you for sharing this great insight. This is also a choice you have made.

Thanks for putting across very good examples ..we have had enough of reading ‘stories’ about Iconic Leaders across various sectors.

These leaders you covered are genuine and inspiring to everyone. Many thanks for bringing out the contribution and sacrifices they made to make a Difference to Society .

Maybe the “Lulu” factor makes quite some difference too?

True leaders make choic to work for cause: There are many examples of great leaders who dedicated their life working for common purpose. Thanks for explaining the subject in simple and easy to understand language Regards

It is a set of innate traits, refined and perfected over time with education, training and experience.

The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service, borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language.”

― Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte

You have made insightful observations. Choice matters, and makes a leader, but as Dr Kango has pointed out ‘Men do make history but not as they want but are conditioned by circumstances, said Marx.’

Thanks Kannan for leaving a comment. It feels nice to note that you read my blogs.
Vivek
