Is leadership Skill or Trait?
April 27th, 2009 | 
Author: Last two week I’ve been working with my Project Managers to understand;
Â
Why there are slippages in delivery?
What they are unable to keep up to the commitments?
Â
After throwing those two questions… They immediately wanted to defend them and came with many explanations and at last they explained their working process and their challenges… What I got from them took me by surprise and these are issues with them;
-
 They assume things and they create their own version about things…
-
They get contented on their own performance as well as their sub-ordinates… They never challenge themselves…
-
Then they said they have fear of Karma by being strict…
The third point took me by surprise and shock… But I forgot to understand the cultural values… In Hinduism Karma means getting back the bad deeds we do and mostly it is believed that we will get it back or our children will be affected…
Â
I’m sure by conducting workshops I can help them to over first two blocks; but I’m not sure how I can make them understand / realize that cultural values are different from professional values…
Â
Then I remembered a scene from Tony Jhaa’s movie where his mentor will tell him that “Killing and being merciless is the last trait of a leaderâ€â€¦ Likewise I had to explain them that knowingly or unknowingly there is a culture created in IT and we have to be demanding and strict to be competitive…
Â
I don’t know how far I can succeed in making them understand the difference between Cultural Values & Professional Values… If any of you have come across such challenge and if you have any solution please share it here…
Â
So, I’m preparing a presentation for my leaders with example for them to overcome the challenges / blocks they have in the pursuit of becoming a leader… And my presenting will be mostly covering;
Â
- Communication which is very much important for their first challenge…
- How excellent leaders challenged themselves and their peers to gain excellence…
- Collecting clips from leaders to show them why they are successful as leader… Also explaining them about what Democratic, Autocratic & Laissez Faire leadership traits are…
Â
And let me see how they understand it and transform…
