The Key to Successful Leadership

The key to successful leadership is influence, not authority.

In truest terms, Leadership has always been about influencing others. Leadership does not lie under any position; instead it lies under the ingredients called integrity, self awareness, innovation, charisma, sincerity, interpersonal skills and vision of an individual. He is the person who has the ability to create his own world and then depicting the attractiveness of his vision to his followers in such a way that, for the conquest of that world, No matter how many hardships comes, his followers remain enthusiastic and steadfast, as a leader is never seen as a “Problem Creator” but a “Problem Solver”. Some Examples of outstanding leaders are: Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) the Last Messenger of our Creator, Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Founder of Pakistan), Mr. Abdul Sattar Edhi(Social Worker), Mr. Imran Khan (as a sports star and a social worker), Warren Buffet, Bill gates(World Youngest Richest Man), Steve Jobs (C.E.O of Apple) e.t.c.

Another example is the performance of the leadership of current Pakistan Government. Of course, they are occupying ruling positions, but it is very unlikely if the majority of an ordinary Pakistani Citizen view them as their rescuer. Leadership is about pointing direction, however, it appears to be that our leadership do not possess that lens which could allow them to envision the ultimate destination abound by prosperity and peace for this nation. Frustration among the people shows that our current leaders are viewed as a problem creator for them. However, Once, this nation is converted in to followers, they will bear all problems with the heart of iron.
