Nexus throughout the ages. PART 2

21st Century leadership

The philosophy of leadership implicit in leadership development programs of the past is no longer adequate for dealing with the complex problems inherent in communities and organizations today. This implicit philosophy assumes that leadership rests in individuals who must be capable of inspiring and influencing others to solve problems and achieve goals.

Leadership as relationship, revolves around the idea of a network of fluid relationships and is built on the concepts of empowerment, participation, partnership, and service.

A 21st century leader incurs integrity;builds culture, values and internal and external relationships in order to get focused and innovative results.  

21st century leadership is a lot about personal branding. For a 21st century leader, it calls for their character and not the status or position. They have to be genuine and innovative in whatever aspects they choose.

Entrepreneurship Unearthed

Every young dreamers’ actions are what we address as the stepping stones to entrepreneurship. To build oneself into an ever growing entrepreneur, one has to provide their dreams materialized in the form of services. It is important for young entrepreneurs to be adequately self-aware to know what they do not know.

Certainly there is a leap of faith involved, a leap of faith in oneself till the point of obsession to create the ideal. Just like those elements on the periodic table wanting and working to be totally balanced and achieve the perfect configuration, each and every individual in this universe tries to achieve that perfect valency. Hardships, determination, sincerity of the subject may form some of the keywords in an entrepreneur’s diary, because a smooth sea never forms a skillful sailor.

With the advent of literature, humankind flourished. The seeds to new possibilities grew into assured pledges, bearing the fruits, endeavors and hopes. These hopes form the dreams. Some, worked upon and only some touch the surface of reality. Not every thought conceived sees the light, but only if its shown the fire can it ignite.

Time is quick and quiet, it moves around with the most and might. Successful entrepreneurs and leaders of this era play around with time, risking and creating value. The more difficult the business the more value it adds. Mahatma Gandhi listed business without ethics as one of the seven greatest fears to humankind. Each business is an institution in itself, building upon its own believes and values.These values are the diverse business ethics that any institution or firm confides in and follows. These ethics or values are not definable, is not implementable, because it is not conscious, it involves not only our thinking but also our feelings. And certainly if the ethics are poor at the top, then that behavior is copied down the organisation.

A Corporate Pledge encloses the set of esteemed values and morals which will help in setting up an ideal workplace. And to set that paragon phenomenon today’s leaders and entrepreneurs need to understand the value of the “Corporate Pledge”. It has become a corporate responsibility to do the greater good of all. The Corporate pledge of any company encompasses their actions, the way they do it, it’s impact and experiences generated. The corporate Pledge creates Impact and beautiful experiences; and brings in the sustainable trend.
