Lead from Front

As a Leadership observer, thinker ; i look, understand, appreciate the brave acts of leadership.
One recent act of brave Leadership was shown by Mr. Hemant Karkare, Chief, of Anti terrorist Squad(ATS), when mumbai's prime locations turned in to a battlefield, in recent terrorists attack.He could have sat in his comfy office & directed his officials how to tackle the issue. But he chose to lead from the front, be with his officers to assure confidence in them, to motivate them, to create a Wow ! feeling in them that their chief is next to them on the ground.
Unfortunately, this Leader laid his life along with his top officers Mr.Vijay salskar & Mr. Ashok Kamte & few more ground officers so that all residents of mumbai (including me ) and all those who were there in the two hotels (Taj & Oberoi), on roads, could see one more day of their lives, although he himself could not.
As i scribble this few more Leaders (NSG Commandos, Local Police) continue their operations carrying the torch handed over to them so that darkness, evil thinking in its modern form (terrorism) can be defeated.
Amongst the war-zone, under extreme conditions , a Leader does what he must, he does what is right than what is safe.
Kudos !
