“Ethically Passionate Leader”
#I
personally define Leadership as a combination of two rare qualities one " Ethical" and other being "Passionate" and I
admire those Leaders whom I call “EPLs” that is Ethically Passionate Leaders.
I
have seen few ,only a few as of now, great Leaders who excel and grow beyond imagination because they are very high on the
scale of Morals, Ethics and Passion.
As
I believe that one can find many passionate Leaders however when you are
clouded by passion you tend to get ethically blind and very rare leaders have
the capacity and potential to not to get blind by their Passion and hence they are
the true Leaders they are the “EPLs” who live and care for the people and
world around and are not just creating waves by diving deep into their passion
but are also ethically sound.
This
is what our world demands now, it needs more and more EPLs, who let others grow along
with them ,they constantly inspire other people around them not just through
their work but also through their vision, which is very clear, just and ethically
strong .
These
Leaders begin by creating a vision for all , which is communicated and
clarified carefully to everyone in the system. It is embedded with strong
corporate Cultural values and elements of dignity and equality are at the core
of it.
EPLs
clearly describes three stages for any big or small decisions to be taken at
the workplace.
The
decision would only be considered, if it is ethically viable at the first stage
and then at the second level the decision will be filtered on the scale of
their passion and if it passes this filter the Decision would then enter the
system and follows the standard procedure at the work place depending upon its
conduciveness.
#
For instance there are various educational Institutes and many Edupreneurs, who are successfully running the so called educational institutes however the most important thing here to understand is, are they passionate
about the element of "Education" or “Business” because various schools,colleges
and Institutes are openly seen minting money ,they are passionate only about
profit making and they are ethically blind towards the fact that how this passion of minting money is
killing the present and the future of our younger generation.
Every educational Institute should confirm to
very high standards of ethics and this can happen only if we have great Leaders to see this.But sadly we do have many leaders at district level ,state level and even at the National level but no one is EPL.
Only
if we have government’s bureaucrats with high ethics and passion to improve the
system in India ,we would soon see India rising and reaching at the top of the
world in terms of education too.
Let us see another scenario of a Mobile app company ,which is passionate to
incorporate the latest technology, wants to now carve a niche in the teen
market sector and they have an option of attracting the teenagers with apps
that will help them to choose their career easily depending upon few
questionnaire however the Mobile App company knows that no matter what is the
real answers filled up by the teen students ,the questionnaire will be biased
and force the teen students to join a particular Institute/College.
Hence,
the Mobile app company ,disregards this lucrative offer as this is ethically
not correct and though the company is passionate to use the latest technology
for creating the mobile app they refuse to even consider it at the first place.
So
this simple model gives lot of power to goodness and ethical practice at the
workplace and thereby making this world a better place.
So we need to remember that we might be very
passionate about something however we need to first screen at the very core of
it on the filter of “Ethics”.
#In
ethically blind society,Morals are like those strong roots, that will help you
to grow anywhere and everywhere unlike those, who lack morals and are working
only for few like-minded people and once they are cut off from that system , as
they lack roots they never grow back to life again anywhere.
#So
creating a brand doesn't mean, you go
with the flow or follow the trend.It means be you, be authentic.
#People
will remember you always,for your brand.so create a beautiful you, without
aping others try to be a great EPLs.
#
Do not crave for name, just do your work, grow and let others also grow with
you. As EPLs are those who are never crave for to be at the front row but they
are those who help others lead sometimes
even without getting noticed just like the strong roots of a tree . Though
roots are the real force the real power the beauty is external so strive to be
the real you and it is okay if you go unnoticed sometimes externally as it
happens in the corporate world.
#When
you work from your heart with strong morals and character you don't just create
a brand you create a legacy.
