Transition from Manager to Leader

-
When we talk about coaching people there are 2 ways of doing it. Either through leadership or through management. What is the way that you opt for?  Or read further if you wish to do the transition.
  • A leader will always create an environment which will make people follow him. A leader's vision is so powerful that he can make people look up to him. A manager is someone for whom the next step is leadership. They have the ideology of directing people, just they need to polish their skills to make people follow. A manager should let got an authoritative approach to gratitude.
  • Leaders have a proactive approach toward tasks. A manager needs to develop that foresight as he reacts to the change and then implements the action.
  • Leader persuades people and makes the group think alike which creates a team environment. The manager will need to overcome his own set of insecurities to look at the bigger picture. Managers focus on allotment of work which at a stage creates a clash of opinions.
  • A manager works in a focused direction and he directs people in the same manner. But something superior about leaders is they share their vision/focus. Through this, they gain loyalty and a sense of ownership towards the goal. 
  • A manager works in the circle of influence and facilitates the team towards the target. A leader believes in creating the circle of power and delegates his powers for results.
  • A manager is generally self-obsessed due to which he takes the credit and then passes it on to the team. A leader has the humility which makes him give the credit. They look for teamwork and make themselves HERO.
With the above, you can relate as a manager to what you are doing short and you can improvise. And if you are on the path of leadership, you know what you are doing right.

Uncertainty is also not Constant....

We all are undergoing a dilemma of uncertainty. The cloud of questions keeps hovering over your thoughts. Be it of on-going scenario or future. Things are surely going to change, and things are not going to be in the same pattern as they have been for the last few decades. We have evolved, developed and become more sophisticated with time and education. But we are humans at heart and mind. We still can imagine which is not available with any other living species on earth. Do you have these questions; - How will be that day when the lockdown opens, and we will get back to the physical world again? - Will it be a day just like it was on 20 March 2020 or it will be different and if different, how different? - How am I going to live that day, and how will I be reacting and acting that day? - Will I have public transport services and if I will then will I be able to accommodate which we were doing all these years comfortably? - Will, I still offer a helping hand to a stranger by the road...

Spirituality for the Soul

Quite often, spirituality term is aligned to be a synonym of religion or ritual. It is a need today that we understand spirituality is for our soul and not for any societal belief. Religion and tradition are the drawn rules & systems by the society or community to practice spirituality. Our ancestors knew well that metaphors work better than preachings. Hence, the following specific patterns became the way to embark on the journey of spirituality. Aspects like meditation, pranayama, yoga & sadhana are methods of attaining spirituality. Purpose of making these aspects as part of religion and rituals was to make sure these were conducted time and often.  Today, the adoption of the concept of intermittent fasting is common in even younger generations. Our ancestors followed the system of intermittent fasting at the time of conducting any religious rituals. Today we are very well aware that fasting or intermittent fasting helps us detox our bodies and eat up the cells that are ...

Bonding or Binding

Relationships should be bonding not bidding. I recently came across a statement that said that a relationship is a constant effort of commitment, communication and compromise . Which is the reality if you fail to balance all the three the relationship becomes bidding. We all go through our own ups and downs in the journey of life and as the saying goes, enjoying the journey is more important than the destination . But how many of us actually enjoy it? Take a pause and restart enjoying it. During the counselling and coaching sessions, I come across the majority of concerns that are reloving around perception and lifestyle . We have made our lifestyle so materialistic that happiness or wow moments are connected to the accumulation rather than the feelings . The measurement has become more important. We need to encumber the burden of measurement. Eg. I am doing XYZ and I deserve ABC from the other person. Is this the commitment other personed signed with you or did you communicate your ...
