Confrontation

Leadership is not about agreeing to all the wrong-doings in this world; leadership is not about saying “yes” all the time; leadership is not about avoiding confrontations but LEADERSHIP is about taking a rightful stance (even when the mob is against you) and defending what you believe in.

Gandhi did it; Mandela did it; Teresa did it and Martin Luther King did it. They all stood against what they believe was wrong even if they had to sacrifice all the luxuries, forego all those pleasures…

It is not about being diplomatically and politically correct all the time – sometime you have to say what you think. Even if it means that you have to confront someone and take the bull by its horns… Why are we so afraid about confrontation? Why we always look for acceptance from others?

It is in our nature to look for recognition from others. It is in our genes and we cannot get rid of it. But then how Gandhi did it? How Mandela did it? They are exceptions and that’s why they are leaders.

So, wanna be a leader? Start confronting even if it feels uneasy? Once you master that skill, you will be on that path of leadership nirvana…
