| Thanks for your views, Rahul. It just occured to me that somehow, we tend to always look upon some role model, like Gandhiji, to feel about leadership. Why so? Is it that we have eulogised him and others so much that we ourselves feel incompetent? Why are we always demonstrated the 'Power of One' that Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and the like have? Why aren't we motivated to feel 'adequate' about the leadership qualities that we all can develop and work collectively towards a common goal? Leaders like Gandhi are rare; its definitely not easy to shed the robe of materialism in search for 'truth'. However, we have sufficient candidates for 2nd rung, 3rd rung, and further rungs of leadership, and many more waiting to be tickled, tapped, motivated to realise their potential and create the 'rennaisance' required to garner the long-awaited glory of a 'Leader Nation'. I have deliberately avoided the word 'Super Power' as it reeks of ego, selfishness, and the beginning of the end of the entire process of development. Maybe, if we have to become a nation of leaders, we need to dwell on and develop this thought. |
