Leadership is Action, not a position



Leader is a person who triggers and can't be defined as a person who initiates. A large part of being a student is to become a leader. Many strive hard to achieve that and fails. We often define a leader as a guiding individual who is first to initiate an idea or a movement.

This video by TED Talks presents an alternative definition of leadership. In the video, the man begins to dance in front of a crowd. Soon, a second person joins and starts a chain reaction, with others doing the same. In many cases it is the first dancer who is considered as a leader because he starts the movement. However, the video shines light on the second dancer, and he is who transforms a single nut into a leader in the eyes of the public.

Many of us are in a mad rush to be first, but we rarely stop to think if this is the right decision to make, as a leader. It is not always in the chronological order of the events that define a leader. But it is the effect of a person in the crowd that turns the individual into a leader. Think.......... !

Royal Wedding - But if this was an occasion of high majesty, it was tempered by a delightful sense of informality.

For all who witnessed it there was the inescapable sense that here was a matchless act of high theatre, resonant with history, tradition and the inescapable feeling of the institution of the monarchy being reshaped before our eyes. Catherine Middleton was the first untitled woman to marry a prince in close proximity to the throne in more than 350 years, since Anne Hyde wed the Duke of York, later James II, in 1660. In an illustration of unparalleled social mobility, having walked up the aisle as Kate, a history of arts graduate from Berkshire, whose ancestors include, on her mother’s side Durham miners and on her father’s, five generations of stolid middle-class solicitors, the new bride walked down it the Duchess of Cambridge, and the future Queen Catherine, the sixth to bear that title. We were told that this would be a relatively modest wedding.   Relatively, an occasion geared to the imperative to strike a balance between a consideration for the austerity of the times, ...

Difference between: Managerial Accounting & Financial Accounting

Both professions are about counting money, but there is a big difference between managerial accounting and financial accounting. Accounting inside a company or the organization is called managerial accounting, while accounting outside of a company or an organization is called financial accounting. This is the main difference between the two, In managerial accounting, reports can be made daily, weekly, or monthly. The reports are very important because they can be used to predict the future outlook of the company, especially the company’s financial statement. In contrast, financial accounting reports are done during a fiscal year or during a period. The financial reports have value when evaluating the past, present, and future and can help you make wise decisions when it comes to investing. Managerial accountants do not disclose financial statements very easily. The reports are confidential, containing information that is only for the organization. That is becau...

Life Is Too Short To Wake Up With Regrets! Love the people who treat you right & have compassion for the ones who don't.

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam : "When I was a kid, my Mom cooked food for us. One night in particular when she had made dinner after a long hard day's work, Mom placed a plate of 'subzi' and extremely burnt roti in front of my Dad. I was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt roti. But Dad just ate his roti and asked me how was my day at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember I heard Mom apologising to Dad for the burnt roti. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burnt roti." Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy, good night & I asked him if he really liked his roti burnt. He wrapped me in his arms & said: "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she was really tired. And besides... A burnt roti never hurts anyone but HARSH WORDS DO!" "You know beta - life is full of imperfect things... & imperfect people... I'M NOT THE BEST & AM HARDLY GOOD ...
