Leadership Superpowers

Just like our body parts have different functions, the employees in an organization have different functions too. Some build, some test, some implement, some maintain etc etc. But most crucial and important role I believe is of the leader of the organization. I'm talking about the CEOs, Vice Presidents, people who matter and make decisions that millions of employee follow without any question. The Leader is the one who drives the complete work/project and delivers extraordinary results. The competition is very tough upstairs. Hence it is important for a leader to maintain the position and cut the revolt which may rise from inside or out. These people reach the heights through their natural talent and hard work. On their way to the top, they develop some powers which are must have to reach the throne and maintain the position. We can put these powers in many ways but I'll take 4 powers here as mentioned below.

1.) Intellectual Power
This is the power of knowledge which one develops throughout his career and keeps learning more and more. The highest paid executives are recognized on their knowledge basis. Ratan Tata also said, the most important thing is knowledge and the best part is, it is very easily available nowadays, thanks to internet. But one should be determined to have the knowledge and put every nerve in the body to learn it. The power of intellect helps the leader to make important decision and will develop an insightful approach towards the challenges he will face,

2.) Man Power
A leader must have resources. Employees are the man power, the higher the leadership role goes, the bigger man power he gets. Man power lets the leader accomplish bigger goals which are result of the team work. A huge dream/project requires a lot of hard work, with predefined goals and roles a good team can achieve miraculous targets.

3.) Financial Power
Financial power is something we all understand is mandatory.  A leader should have enough source of financial support in order to fulfill requirements of the staff and the organization. I wont write much in this part, everyone knows to run a business you need money.

4.) Power of enthusiasm and morale
This is the most important power a leader should have. The enthusiasm and morale drives employees to work twice as hard and deliver. The leader should not be too strict and not too lenient, the effect of a true leader lasts even after he is gone, workplace bullies should fear form him in his absence. The hard working people should be recognized and rewarded in order to do more. A true motivational leader can drive his team to do a lot more, it will lead to success for him and his team too.

Note :  If you deliver more than you are getting paid, eventually you will be paid more.

Aspiring Leader

Doing what you cannot do.

Please don't take the wrong message by the title, I do not mean you should do illegal things or wrong practices.

I'll rephrase a quote from Kung Fu Panda 3, Shifu says "If you only do what you can do you will never be more than who you are." Then again if you're happy with only what you can do then keep doing it. The work, the habits, the lifestyle these things determine what you can do or cannot do. There're a lot of people in this world and majority does stuff in conventional ways. Doing things differently makes us stand out of the crowd. If you're an employee and doing things that are assigned to you then you're only doing what you can do, but if you show a little more effort and give even more than expected then you'll climb that success ladder faster than your colleagues. But again it's not easy otherwise everyone could have done it. It takes much more and this applies in every field be it work or business. Going the extra mile, one more shot, when you're all done with push-ups but you do one more set anyways, that one extra set makes all the difference. So go for it don't sit your ass down watching cellphone or tv.
