Do you take inspiration from a leader? Do you follow someone very closely and seriously? Do you want to become like someone?
I'm sure, many of us take the learning from many such leaders. Some of the traits that these leaders have exhibited all their life, which has given them all the fame and adulation; they tend to write something contrary, when they write their autobiography; they speak of the person living an idle life.
Sample the below:
Work-Life balance: These are the folks, who put their sole into everything that they do. Don't care of days and nights. Don't care for relationships. Even forget their families. But, after having lived a (so-called) successful (let me call, famous), and tensed life; they believe in preaching to public on the importance of work-life balance.
On the contrary, it is the ONLY truth. You have to go above and beyond, put everything that you have got (time, and effort) to get success, and achieve the fame.
Being Truthful: Ah. This is the most boasted falsehood statement being made. They tend to hide all the sins that they have committed to reach to, where they are today. And, when it is time to retire, they wear the mask of "Being Honest, Being Truthful". This is nothing but all their plans to retire on the legacy of high morale grounds.
Leading thru Vision: They tend to hide all their decisions made just on the basis of their guts. Just taking a chance is many a times the reason why they are so successful. They tend to hide their ability to take risks, and going with the flow as two important facets of their success. Many a times, they want to be perceived as a leader with brain, then a leader with instincts.
Caring for People: That's the uncharacteristic thing that they claim for. After having committed all the blunders in life, tossing people around for financial gain; it is like they have achieved Nirvana, and ultimate psychological satisfaction towards end of their work life.
They claim to be caring for people. There have been several times, when they took decisions based on what they thought is right; biased by their own judgement and ideas.
What I follow, and advice to people around me, is be your OWN Leader. Be objective. Be aligned to your own goals, and aspirations. Do RIGHT, what you think is right. And, whatever is the outcome, you will feel happy about it, and take lot of learning from it.
