Dear Khadir, hope you are keeping well. Sorry for late reply as I was busy with exam. Yes, we are just exchanging our views. And also, neither I'm an expert nor I have a profound knowledge base. I'm still an amateur. However, I go through your writing and I again really appreciate your concern and knowledge. Let's justify my views on some your stands.
1) You believe LEADERSHIP IS NATURAL/IN-BORN. Then on your basis of belief, every single human being posses this natural/in-born attribute including you. Then why all the people are not leader? In my point of view, this is because of Situation and internal factors of the human being. Here internal factors consists of BASIC & POSITIVE human traits. And this traits are for all not for specific Human Being like Mohammad (PUBH) or other prophets. And we know Mohammad himself always encouraged his surrounding people to nurture those traits in themselves. If it is fixed or specific for only Mohammad (PUBH) then why he always encouraged others?
Yes, we all are born with some or the other skills. A leader, unless and until succeed in demonstrating his abilities by leaving a long lasting impact, none will consider nor accept him as a LEADER. He must succeed in LEADING HIMSELF, LEADING OTHERS and LEADING ORGANISATIONS as well. When it comes to corporate sector, successfull LEADERS are those who focused on VISION, MISSION, VALUES, CULTURE and may be more. A LEADER must look into both MICRO & MACRO levels of an organisation. Even this applies to GRAND PARENTS as they are held responsible for molding their grand children
I am trying to follow and promote the LEADERSHIP SKILLS demonstrated by our prophet Mohammed (PUBH) but then, he was THE CHOSEN ONE and we cannot compare ourselves with him nor we can meet even 1% of his LEADERSHIP SKILLS. The major reason behind our Prophet success as a LEADER was his DOWN TO EARTH ATTITUDE, he never use to get ANGRY, he never loved this DUNIYA(world), he was not after POWER, MONEY & ACHIEVING SUCCESS, his concerned was to SATISFY ALLAH for sending him in this world on a GREAT MISSION, all he wanted to RECEIVE DIVINELY HELP FROM ALLAH and nor he had EGO.
2) Managers are human being, so every manager posses Leadership skills. It is again because of Situation and Internal Factors of the Human Being, not all the managers can exhibit LEADERSHIP. Also this is not fixed for specific managers of an Organization. Moreover, Mohammad (PUBH) himself aligned with both as a Leader and a Manager. And it is not found anywhere written that Mohammad (PUBH) could not manage facts or matters successfully until he was matured enough to exhibit leadership skills.
We must understand the word "MANAGE" and "LEADER". An ordinary MANAGER will remain as MANAGER. MATURITY can be related with COMPETENCIES required to execute a role, wherein a MANAGER will demonstrate his MATURITY LEVELS while making use of his SKILLS and KNOWLEDGE. Our PROPHET is an EXTRAORDINARY PERSON, we better not compare him with anything but can take him as a ROLE MODEL.
Managers need to focus on INNOVATE and EXCEL strategies rather than merely plan and execute. Any manager who takes complete OWNERSHIP and ACCOUNTABILITY he will demonstrate LEADERSHIP SKILLS. But, ensure that he is perfect in DELEGATING TASK(its a beautiful module by itself which can be taught in one day session). No management will stop any manager from demonstrating his LEADERSHIP SKILLS unless he don't practice DICTATORSHIP STYLE. Manager can practice the following Leadership styles - PARTICIPATIVE, CHARISMATIC, SITUATIONAL(the best of all leadership style).
3) Real time state of affairs refer to the every SIMILAR facts or matters (NOT THE SAME facts or matters) happening in this universe. Whatever is the condition, it is required to get the idea which can be obtained from those or combination of those similar things, can also be referred as Concept. Yes, we are not living in a conceptual life but that doesn't mean to ignore Concept.
A person with high MATURITY LEVELS (high in IQ & EQ), one who can balance LIFE and WORK PLACE STRESS, he will demonstrate SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP STYLE. We cannot operate by relying on concept because we never what may happen next as our life is UNPREDICTABLE
Thanking you,
Asif
