Leadership ...Cooler than polar bears....

I saw the a program in National Geographic and fell in love with the cutest of polar bears. …what leadership lessons does he teach me ???
1.       They are very strong swimmers – Leaders should be resilient and strong willed to swim against the tide and whatever impediments they may come across. They cannot afford to be weak hearted in emotions, thoughts or action

2.       Polar bears live in one of the planet's coldest environments – Leaders should learn to survive in the most difficult circumstances.  Sunny days can be very few.

3.       They have a thick coat of insulated fur, which covers a warming layer of fat – Leaders have to be thick skinned many times to the harsh external environment. Insulating from negativity will make sure that the leader has a warm heart.

4.       They have a stark white coat – At whatever cost, leaders should maintain integrity. It will be difficult but exhibiting ethical behaviour is essential

5.       Under their fur, polar bears have black skin, to soak in the sun's warming rays – Leaders should soak up all the positives around them - Soaking up in positive relations and positive attitude without which they can freeze to death

6.       Polar bears are attractive and appealing – Charisma and pleasantness are essential for leaders. Be professionally attractive and appealing to people to look at you and listen to you

7.       Hibernate for 5 months – Leaders should be alone to from the buzzle of the office and people around to think clearly amid chaos.

Haaa…I love polar bears !!!!

In the book “Primal Leadership,” Daniel Goleman, who popularized the notion of “Emotional Intelligence,” describes six different styles of leadership. The most effective leaders can move among these styles, adopting the one that meets the needs of the moment. They can all become part of the leader’s repertoire. Visionary. This style is most appropriate when an organization needs a new direction. Its goal is to move people towards a new set of shared dreams. “Visionary leaders articulate where a group is going, but not how it will get there – setting people free to innovate, experiment, take c...

Gain perspectives in Education!

Perspectives in Education One angle of Leadership is gaining perspectives - of vision, directions, strategies, people and impact. That's like standing back and looking into a prism to see, reflect, enjoy the colors and feel the vibrancy of the big picture and while being fascinated by the micro colors in the prism - created by light travelling at different speed. Or it is like viewing a beautiful building from different perspectives to enjoy the architectural aesthetics in its full background.  Leadership is all about gaining full picture perspective from different angles for strategic decision making and bring  innovation in the organization. Gaining perspectives pumps energy, drive and clarity in a leadership position to take the organization to higher levels without loosing momentum.  The leaders of the  Learning Sector are seeing unforeseen changes and turbulences and  ...
