Having strong father & mother saying don't let it go in your head, you got 95% marks but what happened to that 5%? Got to be ambitious but got to be routed to ground! Live your dreams but stay grounded Unless you have humanity then you do not lie. If you are humble, then you recognize people are better than you, and therefore there is an opportunity to improve, and become better & better. So true humanity can be demonstrated when you are seen being at the top!
1.2.4.4 Sam-Manekshaw-Leadership Extract from the speech of Sam Manekshaw on leadership https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSVLFPFXjc8
1. Shortage of leadership, not only political 2. Leaders are born or made? Leaders are not born, those need to be made! 3. Attributes of leaders
a. Professional knowledge and professional competency- to be acquired hard way, it is a
continuous study b. Ability to make up a mind and take a decision, and having taken a decision taking a full
responsibility for it; delay of decision costs huge; bug stops at your desk C. Confidence (lack of confidence if you lack professional knowledge) d. Absolute justice and impartiality e. Courage to withstand the pressure; morale & physical courage, both are important f. Loyalty - does not need any explanation, its two way thing; do we give loyalty to our
colleagues? If you expect loyalty from them, need to reciprocate g. Management of men and resources; have a human touch, a sense of humor h. Discipline : code of conduct for descent living in a society and
i. Character 4. No man likes to be punished however every man knows he would be punished for the sort of
crime 5. No man likes supervision (superseded) however they would accept if it is done fairly, and
superseded if better than them 6. Morale courage is ability to distinguish right from wrong 7. Courage to stand up and save your peace 8. A yes man is a horrible man, he is a disgrace; he will be used by superiors & disliked by
colleagues and his subordinates will have no respect for them 9. Bible : God said let there be a light and there was a light! 10. Fear is a natural phenomenon like a hunger and sex; its when your knees are knocking, and your
teeth are chattering, and you are about to make your own geography, that's when the real
leader comes out. Once you show fear, you should quit! 11. No amount of leadership will put things right unless you have discipline and character 12. Non-punctuality is an act of indiscipline which is injurious to country and its people 13. Act of indiscipline produces more indiscipline
