Leadership is a choice

Leadership is a choice.


It starts from you.
Are you a leader? Do you want to be a leader?
If yes, read on.
If no, maybe, maybe, you can watch Shackleton the movie and be inspired...


When leading a organization, you have to have passion and social sensitivity of organization.
Also, you need to adjust the tactics depending on 5W1H.


You need to outperform in the organization, to be a leader.
That means you have to be competent.


But you need to be "like"d by the people in organization.
So, you need to satisfy both; lovable, and competent. 
I also add that these features can be "chosen" by you. 
You can choose to be a competent at certain point and be likable too.  

Finally, the most important part of leadership is social sensitivity. 
Leadership is not about "you", but "them".

If you want to be a leader, find out how the people live, eat, cook, sleep, laugh, and work.
Learn from them and lead wherever they wish to go. 

Leadership is a pursuit.
It takes time.
So, if you want to be a leader, take a good look at the people and you.


"A veces en las tardes una cara
Nos mira desde el fondo de un espejo;
El arte debe ser como ese espejo
Que nos revela nuestra propia cara."


                                - Jorge Luis Borges


(English: just like gazing upon a mirror that is reflecting your face, you should look at art as reflecting your face)
