A leader is an agent of change, and progress is about change. In the words of Robert F. Kennedy: “Progress is a beautiful word; but change is his motivation. Leadership is about raising the aspirations of your followers and inspiring people to reach for the stars. For example, Mahatma Gandhi created a vision of independence in India and raised the aspirations of our people. Leadership is about getting people to say, “I will walk on water for you.” It's about creating a worthy dream and helping people achieve it. Robert Kennedy summed up leadership best when he said, “Others see things as they are and ask why; I see them as they are not and I say to myself why not? Adversity A leader must increase the confidence of his followers. He must make them understand that difficult times are part of life and that they will come out better in the end. He must maintain their hope and energy level to face the difficult days. There is no better example than Winston Churchill. His courageous leadership as Prime Minister of Great Britain successfully brought the British people back from the brink of defeat during World War II. He raised the hope of his people with these words: “These are not dark days; these are great days – the greatest days our country has ever seen. Strong leadership is never more necessary than in times of crisis. In the words of Seneca, the Greek philosopher: “Fire is the test of gold; adversity, strong men. Values ​​The leader must create hope. He must create a plausible story about a better future for the organization: everyone should be able to see the rainbow and catch a part of it. This requires creating trust in people. And to create trust, the leader must adhere to a value system: a protocol of behavior that builds people's trust, commitment and enthusiasm. Adherence to a value system creates an environment conducive to high aspirations, self-esteem, belief in core values, confidence in the future, and the enthusiasm to take on seemingly difficult tasks . Leaders must walk the talk and demonstrate their commitment to a value system. As Mahatma Gandhi said: “We must become the change we want to see in the world.” Leaders must demonstrate their belief in sacrifice and hard work.
