An impact that benefits my organization and hopefully, contributes to make the world a better place.
At any level, or any kind of the impact-making activity requires a change.
A change that most of us refuse to make, sometimes.
Because sometimes we find ourselves being very busy and skeptical to perform the change.
It is often ironic that change most likely to happen in where it is least required, vice versa.
While we praise a change, we, at the bottom of our heart, hate change.
We want to stay, make things same forever and ever.
Driving change is tough.
Given the fact that people tend to hate the change,
change-drivers often face "chicken or egg" problem.
If change-driver says, "folks, let's make this change happen before it's too late",
people asks "by when shall we make this change, and...do we REALLY NEED THIS CHANGE? Can we not
wait until the situation gets more clearer?".
People finds a thousand reasons not to do it, while find zero reason to execute it immediately.
Why? - why not?
There may be billion reasons for people to behave in such manner yet the truth is,
"this is something that great leaders in history have had and will have in future".
No matter what, the leadership is an essential element when executing the change.
Whether it is big or small, I am committed to drive change.
Because I promised myself to be a leader.
Because I promised myself not to be an outsider.
Because I promised myself to make a difference.
I feel alive when leading a team.
However, does it have to be me?
Do I have to be a leader?
If so, why me?
There are three imperatives to become a leader.
The very first imperative is, a will.
A leader must have something that he/she wants or has to do.
You can't just be a leader not doing anything.
Second, a leader must be able to perform the change.
This means that a leader should gather whatever it is needed to make the change.
If you need people, find and make them do it.
If you need an equipment, find someone/something to procure it.
Leader must be a do-er.
Finally, a leader must be a realist.
What it means, is that a leader must understands well of the risks and expectation
as well as communicating effectively to colleagues while operating the change.
You can't be a dreamer if you want to be a leader.
