7 Golden Rules for first time Leaders

"Leadership is for everyone."
It is rightly said. As one starts a career in any field, they are always aiming to be a leader in the field. As one gains experience, he needs to add-on from being a doer to one who can guide others in getting things done.

Widely there are few myths associated with leadership
Myth 1: It's is a born talent. Everyone cannot be a leader
Truth: Everyone can be a leader. It's not a born talent. It’s a muscle that is built as you practice 

Myth 2: Leadership is all about authority.
Truth: Leadership is all about being a catalyst 

Myth 3: Leadership is a given responsibility
Truth: Leader is an attained responsibility. You demonstrate the leadership and you are given it.

For some, this comes as a gift for their hard work done. When you are given to do it, remember it’s not the job for taming a tiger instead it's about winning someone's love 

As a leader, you are responsible for building the next level who can work delivery independently. It’s a muscle that needs to be trained to be built. It needs empathy, patience and more importantly understanding the viewpoint and not react to observations. 

These are seven golden rules that can get you to move on to lead the team forward 

1. Plan your day first. What you cannot do you cannot inspire others to do 

2. Start your day at least an hour early than your team
3. When assigning work to your team always tell them
  • Why they need to do
  • What they need to do
  • What is it looks like if the work is done
4. You cannot teach, what you don’t know. Keep learning …

5. I do they watch, we do together, and They do I watch - Rajiv Talreja
6. Give feedback
  • What's good
  • What needs to improve 
  • How to improve
7. Put up your hand and accept failure or success

Go into the future, imagine you have been a leader, and write down what you want to be remembered for. What will the generations to pass from you will recollect as a critical aspect of your leadership. Write them down, "Now". The things you write are your measurement metrics.
Write that every possible thing you want to be remembered which will create you a remarkable leader. 

To help you learn more, read through following books which can guide you at in being the righteous leader
1. Leader who had no title - Robin Sharma
2. The Art of war - Sun Tzu
3. How to win Friends and Influence people - Daniel Carnegie

We are called leaders because we have been given the responsibility to make good things happen.If we are stuck with the energy of the things that are not working, then we are not leading but are being led by a reality that is only the creation of our mind

"Vision"-Who owns it?

​ PS: Writing this post straight out of my bed at Morning 5:00 am. Ignore my mistakes.:) Every time when we meet someone new- a friend, prospect, Senior person in an organization etc. The second question would be  "What do you do ?" or "What are you working on?" or "what does your company do?"  and I assume 70% of the answers are  " I am a developer" or " I work on GIS platform" or "My company builds mobile apps"  . So whats wrong in that? Nothing rig ht . But  take a step back  and read the question  "What do you do ?".  Can the answer be  " I am working for a vision ..... and I contribute my part as a developer ....." "My company has a vision ....and to achieve this vision we work on ............"  " we as an organization work for a vision to build ...". It sounds good right and also motivational for the person hearing. If it's so good(i fee...

The Power of Prayer

Do you pray? When do you pray? When was the last time you prayed? Do prayers have power? Do prayers have a magical touch? If you have said "Yes" then why don’t we pray every day? We pray on special occasions, festivals and significant days in life. Of all them, we often pray when we are in fear. Prayers induce a subconscious thought that we are being looked after by superpower who knows what you want. Prayers are associated with faith . When we have faith, we move forward with positive thoughts.  When we offer prayers with faith, it creates a flow of energy and registers a visual image of our wants.  It's not the religion or the god you offer the prayer, its ability to communicate your needs in solitude to the subconscious mind, which projects the image of your desire into the real world. Prayers detail out your problem statement. It creates an image of your fear and your desire to win over it. Subconsciously you train your mind to overcome the fear.  If you dou...
