Three Pillars of Leadership
The three pillars of leadership are the ability to reflect, care and kind attitude to people.
In order to achieve real success, we have to understand that worldly wisdom and insight are the most important features that we need to cultivate. Become an expert on individual psychology and learn to identify the human essence. Do not allow yourself to be used and be fully aware of what is happening around you. Do not stoop to gossip and intra-office squabbles but you should understand that they do exist, and try to be aware of what is going on behind your back. True leaders behave this way.
A leader is a person who leads people. But leadership begins with the ability to control yourself, your thoughts and emotions. As you know, your whole life depends on this. Before commanding others and leading them you must command yourself. This is the first and most important step in leadership. Could Fyodor Ovchinnikov build a successful business another way?..
A leader is not a manipulator, a leader is a motivator whose actions are aimed at creating and maintaining the well-being of others. Of course, everyone thinks primarily of themselves... If anyone says otherwise, you should know that the person is cheating. Perhaps they do this unintentionally and unknowingly, sincerely believing that they care about other people.
A leader can consider other people, he is able to take care of himself and he gives a remaining energy and strength to others. It seems the situation with money: when you earn enough to live comfortably you are able to give your savings to benefit people. But when you do not have enough money for yourself you cannot think about others.
Free energy means creative energy, which people use for creativity. Most of us have power only to maintain the current level of life, many of us do not have enough power even for this and then they lower the bar. Only few have enough energy to create the next level after the strengthening of the previous one.
Free energy is like free money that you can use after all bills are paid. By the way, the amounts of energy and money are directly proportional to each other.
A leader is primarily a person who perfectly controls his own life. He has plenty of free energy and it is booming. Due to his strong and stable energy he is able to lead people.
Leaders are very self-confident. It serves as the core of their position in life and forms relations with the world and other people. Self-confidence enables them to accept themselves as they are. It creates a protective layer between them and people around, which allows moving more purposefully.
A person is able to effectively manage his/her life only in the quiescent state. When you suffer negative emotions poison your mind, and as a result, you take wrong, rash and hasty decisions. A person who is confident in his/her future is impossible to be shaken. This peace of mind allows thinking clearly and taking right steps. Remember the proverb: "The dogs bark and the caravan goes by." The same is about leaders: people are trying to denigrate and offend them, but leaders feel a power and just smile back.
People, who achieve leadership by tricks and traps, usually lack self-confidence. They want to show that they are important in this world. That is why they strive to subdue and control people in order to raise self-confidence. They do this just for personal ego gratification. True leaders are chosen by other people. They do not strive to get leadership just for its own sake. People around a true leader feel a strong personality who is able to take care of them and unite around him/her.
Most people do not have enough free energy to do great things and when they see a person who has it in abundance they try to approach him/her and to get at least a piece of it. Leaders spare no energy because the more they give, the more they get and the stronger they become.
This is a spontaneous process. Leaders know who they really are and their self-confidence cannot be shaken. Remember that the first stage of leadership is self-management. If a person copes with this other people are not able to change anything.
