Best and Effective Leadership- Leadership shift

Ancient Leadership versus Modern Leadership
In simple terms leadership is the process of influencing people in an organisation, giving them direction and guidance with an objective of achieving organisational set goals.
Given the definition, whichever way you want to define, leadership has three aspects, influencing people, guiding and giving direction and achieving goals. All the three are very crucial for one to be a successful and recognized leader in any establishment. One can be very excellent in influencing subordinates and motivating them, they listen and follow his instruction and very happy to be led by such a leader but as long as these efforts fail to achieve the organisational set goals, the purpose of leadership is lost, all such efforts are in vain.

Civilization does not stop, each passing moment brings its own page of civilization, which has brought a lot of changes in the way people can be led in any establishment, and be it organisation, club, social circles or church. The following points state out the growing variation between ancient and modern leadership.

1.       It has been discovered that workers’ unions that protect employees are very profitable ventures and require less capital to start. These are very crucial organisation in the modern environment and we have recorded a number of their advantages in employee welfare. However this good development has brought leadership shift, autocratic leadership can work no more. Your subordinates know verbal abusive words, sexual abusive words, and any type of abuse you can think of. Due to this even if a leader use some bold words trying to instill compliance to his or her subordinate, it is possible it can be turned abusive and the leader is charged with abuse.

2.       Education has become the way of today, literacy rate is increasing each year, and the modern generation is becoming literate. This shift from illiteracy to literacy is a great and desired development none can deny. This made it possible for your subordinates to know exactly what you are expected of as a leader. No more closed office leadership styles, today your subordinates know when you go off road which was not popular to ancient leadership
3.       Ancient employers promoted people into leadership positions from performance trends, but modern use both performance and academic. The people you lead might have better educated individuals than you. This will impose you on a challenge of squaring your intelligence. Ancient subordinates were just followers and have no question to instruction. Modern subordinates once they discover your weaknesses you lose their attention.
To be an effective leader in the modern environment, you ought to stop leading from behind like an African shepherd but from the front like a Jewish shepherd. The duty of giving directing, guiding and achieving goals remains but you have to be part of the team and be familiar with all the expectation expected from you.

Open communication valves for your subordinates to have direct encounter with you in all matters related to your journey which you are leading. Letting people follow you is difficult because from your first day as a leader some of your subordinates already don’t want to follow you. You need to make them follow you, open dialogue, share with them and convince them to follow by tangible facts.

Create a trust in your subordinates, for them to follow you in your leadership they have to trust you. Even I, don’t want to follow the person I don’t trust.  Trust can be created from your credibility, your discipline and punctuality. Creating trust will make them listen to you and wanting to follow you.


Explain plainly where you are going as a team. Don’t lead your subordinates in darkness, let them know their destination with your leadership and how are you going to get there. Be creative to create an excitement in your subordinates about the journey and the destination. If you can manage their hearts and make them excited about the destination then your journey will be interesting, productive and more importantly satisfying.

Business chunks-Facing Business Challenges



Shrinking or Expanding- is a matter of choice
I was taught at high school that when matter is heated it expands and when cooled it shrinks or contracts. Life is full of choices for people to make and live according to their choices. Imagine a father choosing to run away from home because he is failing to provide for the family, all home basic needs he is failing. Will running away help solve the problem or it worsens? Wherever he goes he will always feel the guilt of failure.

When you go into business arena never ever give the leeway of sneaking out when business journey becomes hard, the feeling of failure will follow you and the discomfort to meet everyone who knows you, build courage and move on. You can’t expand unless you are heated by business challenges. Challenges are just a learning point to pick best business practices. So it’s the owner of the business who choose business expansion or shrinkage, every business challenge has a solution. 

Never approach the business arena without sufficient courage to face the harassment from the macro and micro marketing factors, the world is now a global village, you can find what you want everywhere and anywhere, just by clicking a button you can purchase a machine from China within minutes, therefore my business colleagues only courageous and hard core business people will grow their businesses and find the journey worthwhile.

Life in business is satisfying when you are a successful business person but is like a hell when you are struggling along the journey, life become very unfriendly and hostile, it will look like every other thing is going opposite, remember every business challenge has a solution, some of them not very complicated but very simple solution. Choose to be coward or brave!!!

Making a choice might be the jeopardy that pulls business people back and land on their back. They might have several solutions but choosing which to apply can take years till the business dies.
That which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, 

Courage to face the challenges and turn your journey interesting can be acquired, you can join the exciting world of successful business people. Get a coach on courage building and gain back you confidence, your journey will be sweet again.
