Nothing is perfect in this world. In mechanical industries, even product design has some plus-minus tolerance limits. But one can try to reach near to perfection, and this is rugged, sturdy and elusive journey. Today 21st May, 2012, a new dawn in my life, a new episode in my life which will lead to new season altogether, as I have stepped in to learn, lead and live at SOIL, my journey started with a "self-leadership" session with Anil Sachdeva, a pioneer and a visionary.
Many of us would have a persuasion before session that what is "self leadership", why we require it? But I would portray it in a single sentence by a famous Greek Philosopher- Plato "The best and first victory is to conquer self". I had preconceived notions about self leadership as "self discipline", "bide by some self imposed limitations", but after this session I realized that I was thinking in unidirectional way. It is just nth part of what Anil Sir imparted today on me. It is an extensive process which one has to go through all his life to become leader of masses.It all starts with self discovering process. It also means to gain knowledge about self. "who am I ?","Do I really want this?" are like starters of this beautiful dish called "my life".
To be very specific the three senses which we should oblige to comprehend and practice religiously are "see","listen" and "touch". These are the most expressive and influential way of communications, or if i may say - ingredients to make a scrumptious , appetizing dish. As we all know India have very rich culture and it can be experienced by the various folk dances. The eye communication is an integral part of such dances. Bharatnatyam, Kathkali, Kuchipudi, Laavni etc all are the best examples of "eye" communication. Eye can tell a tale in most prolific way.
A speaker must have clarity in thoughts. In the same way a listener should be like an empty vessel . To listen is also an important practice which tomorrow's leaders must inherit.Powerful leader is always a powerful listener.It does not subtract but add a lot of productive and creative aspect to the desired life.Touch is the most significant way of communication . It transfers the positive energy as well as a reassuring, soothing sense. A lot can be conveyed by a mere "touch".
All these ingredients are very much essential for delightful dish, and a creative, a prominent, an inspired chef will definitely practice to add these to make a lip-smacking menu.Anil Sachdeva has showed a way to me or rather guided me regarding the "stepping stone of inspired leadership journey. i would like to summarize it with a quote from Lao Tzu - " Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power."
