Outlead

Posted on Feb 27th, 2009 by Aditya : Desciple of Existence Aditya

In one of my previous blogs I have mentioned about reengineering the definitions of success and many other .

And this wish has been granted. Change agent is Malcolm gladwell. 

I am referring to his new masterpiece ‘outliers’ which redefines ,explores the age-old definitions. He amazes us with his out of the world insights just like his previous works.(Blink & Tipping Point)

His findings are mind opening yet simple, understandable, straight to the point and I think that’s what a genuine leader does.

He grants his followers with the new vantage points from where they see things, definitions, preconceived notions in new light. He not only shares a new vision but provides pragmatic thinking for his tribe to experience it themselves in real world.

Leader looks for the possibilities, solutions when others are busy analyzing the existing limitations. He chooses to light a candle rather than spending the time and energy cursing the darkness.

He comes out with new solutions, new way of doing things. He sees what others can’t even imagine/think in their wildest of ‘out –of –the-box’ and /or ‘innovation’ sessions.

He dares to ask the two most frightful questions many of us try to shun…………………

1.why ?                                             

2.why not ? 

Genuine leadership looks around, questions the extant conditions, beliefs, way of doing things and asks why? And then uses the power of imagination and dedicates himself/herself in the search of better way of thinking, doing and seeing things, comes out with alternatives and asks why not? & before making it available to tribe , tests them for their expediency.

Thus leader provokes & instills a new thought process which encourages more thoughts and create more thinking heads, and new breed of thinkers & impending leaders..
