In my earlier post while talking about leadership skills,I was talking about my close friend who was once the most jovial and carefree guy. Soon after his elevation in his organization and with additional responsibilities and dead lines , Mr. Johny started neglecting his social and family life. On hearing sad stories of how nasty his big boss is and how he lose his temper with his colleagues, I felt really sorry for him and had to give an oral presentation of self control as an effective leadership quality.
Johny case is not an isolated one in the leadership skill lessons .First and foremost one need to remember that, one should not jam pack the working hours with busy meetings. It is of vital importance that there need to be sufficient recouping time after an important assignment whether it is a board meeting, a discussion, or a negotiation. You need to put less important activities before and after such an assignment which would make you mentally relaxed and physically fit.
Leadership skills is not just micro management and hard labour. Small breaks while in work is an important way of keeping the mental faculties sharp and focused. Why can't you take a short break in the forenoon and afternoon and just walk around the campus or lieten to your favourite Ghazal? The effect as I have experienced is tremendous. You emerge as fresh and free after a rest . Never attempt to listen the music while at work since it spoils both, the beauty of the music and the seriousness of the work on hand.
Leadership skills also demands adequate rest and nutritious food to make the body and mind healthy .To have a cool favourite drink( of course not Hot!), preferably a fresh juice would add to the energy and metabolic recouping. Listening to chanting and prayers would soothe the mind of those who are a bit devoted.
The revelation or rather enlightenment that the results depends on a number of factors both internal and external , and what matters is the effort and competition within would ward off a sick and morbid desperate mind. The essence of Baghawat Geetha, that do your work and leave the rest to God is an apt management dictum in today's' over ambitious business world.
