True leadership is not about exercising power over people but about unlocking their potential

Section-A. 'True leadership is not about exercising power over people, but about unlocking their potential.' 'Leadership is just not a mere term for sense of duty, but rather a sense of responsibility & belongingness.' "Leadership" is just not a mere quality rather is a sense of duty, responsibility & belongingness. A true leader not only leads the crowd but also makes them a part of himself/herself. Mary Parker Follet believed in 'Power-with' over 'Power-over'. She believed not much could be achieved with force, cohersion & dominance. Instead it is the integration & compromise of needs that leads to achievements in the field of management conflicts.

Similarly, a leader who exercises dominance is remembered negatively than the one who preached participation & teamwork. India is a land of leaders. Today, we remember 'Ashoka-the Great' due to his Dhama policy & the tolerance towards all religion. But at the same time condemn the act of Baktiyar Khilji for destroying the Nalanda University. Therefore a true leader is responsible to & for his subjects irrespective of any inequalities or discriminations. The preacher of non-violence, M.K. Gandhi & his principles till date flows among the citizens globally because he walked with the Indians & Africans during their inconveniences. Hitler, on the other hand, was a leader of Germany but couldn't acquire a positive positioning among the others due to the cruelty in his actions. The idea of being a leader by inflicting fear has no/less sustenance & impact over the people. But the cooperative integration of ideas of leaders & people has an immense impact. Likert had given two different supervisory styles - job-centered & employee-centered. Job-centered supervisors never trusted their subordinates & were very keen about completion of work. The employee-centered supervisors had complete trust & confidence in their subordinates & focused on individual growth with the achievements of organisational goals. The confidence & trust between the two could do wonders, & has been proven in Rensis Likert's theory. A true leader is one who possess the quality of being a good listener, being considerate, empathetic, honest, has integrity, open to ideas & change, & is ethical & moral in his values. A true leader brings out the good in people trying to make this society a better place.

In the contemporary times, Shri Narendra Modi could be placed called a true leader as his sole focus has been on 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'. This ideology is nothing but giving space & resources for the citizens to unlock their potential. The transformation of MGNERGA to VBGRAM-G in making it a demand-driven scheme. The provisions like Mudra Yojana, Subhadra Yojana, Mission Shakti, Kisan Mahila, Drone Didi etc is for women in various sectors. Other programs like PMFBY, PMKUSUM, PMKISAN, PMSY, PMMVY, ICDS etc also align with the above ideology. In comparison, even though China has been emerging at a maximized rate but is equally criticised for the kind of leadership. The debt traps, lack of freedom of press & speech has been another concerning due to its suppressive nature which is not allowing its citizens to have an opinion. The idea of a leader being a guide & a friend for his/her people is very important for the wholistic growth of the society. A leader is responsible for all the & all the bad that prevails in the society. Hence, making it his responsibility to change each & every individual ethically. An examplary would be 'Buddha' who tried to heard each one of them who visited him. He once met a cruel man who wanted Buddha to be scared of him as than man had killed many. Buddha replied, 'it is easy to kill & difficult to give life back'. That one statement changed him & he later became a follower of Buddhism. This shows that his true self was recognized by his due to Buddha's help which made him a man of values & gave him a true purpose to live for. In a nutshell, it is easy to be a leader for name sake but is difficult to be a true leader. The attached responsibility of many is not an easy job to sign up for. But we have many leaders like Nelson Mandela, Gandhiji, Nehruji, Raja Ram Mohan Ray, Jyotiba Phule, Vivekananda, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle etc who have helped people explore their potential physically & mentally.
