FACILITATING EXCELLENCE

 Emotional Resilience is a big word, but if we were to simplify it would come down to simply developing skills that help us master our emotions better. In times of uncertainty, it will not leave us second-guessing ourselves or our way of life.  There are a lot of people navigating through this time in their own way, some are reaching out to others and others are just ensuring that survival is managed. There are some others who continue to live with their heads buried in the sand.  Each of these people has a lot at stake, their personal well being, their families, their lifestyle and their environment as they know it and they react as they know best.

Leadership is difficult, especially when the leadership is bigger than life, a person who can hold themselves together can sail through a crisis when everyone is falling apart and can navigate in the most difficult circumstances.  Leaders are born not made, this phrase almost makes everyone feel, they are not cut out for it.  However, if we look at life closely, we are all leaders in our short film- or as I always like to reiterate, we are all the heroes in our own story.   It is very important to start learning the concept of Servant Leadership from that perspective. To put it simply, it is all about putting others first or putting the need of others first.  As a Parent we put the need of our children first, as a spouse, we put the need of our better half first, as a responsible citizen, we put the need of our country or fellow citizens first. All this while taking into cognizance that it is not out of any 'sacrifice syndrome' which itself can be damaging quality for a leader.
