WHO is LEADER ? ? ?

Dear Mr. Sanjay...

first of all no one is right or wrong...it's one's perception and interpretation. Right for one can be wrong for someone else. Any discussion has lot of insights...The question also has a sub-question of Ram / Krishna as leaders. 

In my opinion Industries are run by effective management and not necessarily leadership. Or else everyone should become a leader. Being at a top position does not always means one has become a leader.The most important quality of a "leader" or the most important "leadership" quality is to be above self interest...How many political and corporate leaders (???) are like that..?? 

Problem is we are never able to differentiate between a true leader and an effective manager. 

In my opinion, path or destination is decided based on one's quality only...To decide about our path or destination we need to know are we ourselves leaders at the first place...??

The black denotes the questions and the Red denotes the answers.

Dear, Dr.Shalini

You - first of all no one is right or wrong...it's one's

      perception and interpretation. Right for one can be wrong

      for someone else.

Me  - Agreed.

You -Leadership is a quality of a leader only. You can call

     someone a leader based on his / her leadership quality.

Me- Agreed.

You -In my opinion Industries are run by effective management and

     not necessarily leadership.

Me - Effective management is also by a leader. It is necessary.

You - Or else everyone should become a leader.

Me - Not possible. People are different from each other.

You -Being at a top position does not always means one has

     become a leader.

Me- Agreed.

You -The most important quality of a "leader" or the most

     important "leadership" quality is to be above self

     interest...

Me - Both are same thing. Without leadership quality, no one can

     be a leader.

You - How many political and corporate leaders (???) are like

      that..??

Me - Everyone can not be political and corporate leaders. They

     are always few.

You - Problem is we are never able to differentiate between a

      true leader and an effective manager.

Me - We are always able to differentiate between a true leader

     and a effective manger.leader can handle many effective

     manager at a time, but many effective managers can not

     handle a single leader.

All people are different from each others. Technician can not be a industrialist. Accountant can not be a C.A., Compounder can not be a Dr. , Driver can not be a pilot , Typewriter cannot be a engineer, Contractor can not be a developer,but they all can be a leader if they deserve leadership quality. Everyone can not be a ruler That is why, we remember who rules, but we do not remember who are ruled.
