hihi....pple out there in the world who have nothing to do....listen to me talk absolutely rubbish. Not many ppl know abt my blog so i can have the liberty of talking rubbish and stuff that i know i can get into alot of trouble for.
went for dinner with friends, had a blast. But came back really flat out, ahha...still managed to do a bit of GP and all. I have been thinking, what makes a person a leader? Are they born or breed? the thing is that things like that will nvr have a correct answer. i honestly guess it is a bit of both. I mean, to be given leadership opportunities from young is definately a plus point but hey says who you cant change overnight..as i have always said, changing a mindset only requires a split second. it is the debating and deliberating that takes tons of time. but it usually isnt that simple. i dont think there is a fixed type of leadership style as there are many different variations of the same thing.
first type is the quite understated leader. i guess the epitome of such a leader is none other then my friend ,Luke sim. he has that confidence abt him that is understated yet everpresent. he kind of inspires confidence in everyone, something that i can nvr hope to achieve.
second type is the dynamic type of leader. he is often awe inspiring and very in your face style. leaders like this i believe are tipped to become heads of societies etc. but the main draw back of such leaders are that they are often arrogant( but the line between arrogance and confidence is far too fine) always self assured, usually pple like them dont have many true friends...
last type is the motivator. always willing to encourage and push ppl on with speeches and are willing to go the extra mile to make others feel special and that they are part of the team-the winning one. the only main drawback is taht pple like these are often dismissed as too frivalous and not taken seriously by their equals...but then no one said leadership was ever going to be easy...haha...
Most ppl are a mixture of some, but we all have predominant traits that associate us with the particular leadership style.. oh yah i forgot those who have absolute no chance at becoming leaders. my msg to them is ....FORGET IT!!!!! you were born to be a follower so stick with it. i know like very bad like that..haha...but who cares i have to be frank..i mean you can train as much as you like, but the truth is that you most probably achieve more as a follower. the types of ppl are too many to name them all. they are not unique to a particular character or anything it is just that they exist...dont know how lah...
i feel that gd leadership is abt knowing how to use your resources to the best. That is why most leaders have little true friends..or for that matter any friends at all...but that is the price for greatness sometimes...manupilation of these resources is sometimes not beyond one's ability...but hey, the job has to be done...whatever the price
haha..leadership although can be cultivated and trained is usually best natural. and it is abt being yourself and confident abt your abilities..even if others arent...screw them..
oh well.....ranting's over....which type of leader are you?...1,2,3 or ABSOLUTE ZERO....wonder and ponder...who knows....hehe...
un dieu benissent toujours
may god bless you always...
