Leadership - Magic of mastery

The essential characteristic of this book in comparison with others on the market in the same domain is that it describes through examples the ideal competences of a leader. I never claimed that it's easy to become a good leader, but if people will...

The master touch

For some leaders, "leading" resembles more to a chess game, a game of cleverness and perspicacity; for others it means a game of chance, a game they think they can win every time risking and betting everything on a single card.

Without considering it a concord, the book is representing the try of an ordinary man - the author - who through simple words, facts and usual examples instills to the ordinary man courage and optimism in his own quest to be his own master and who knows... maybe even a leader.

Get involved with passion

An extraordinary man.

Paulo Coelho relates in “A Mag Journal” about his meeting with Manolo, the chief of the spanish football gallery. There was something that draws his attention in a special way in that man, because he was so involved with all his heart in sustaining his favorite football team. He was one of the few people who were putting passion in everything they were doing and they really got involved in the game. Eager, Paulo Coelho asked Manolo: “How do you manage to see the game if you are always with your back at the field, leading the gallery?” Manolo, who was in love with football and with his team that always was sustaining it, answers: “This is my joy. Helping the gallery believe in victory.”

I think that what Manolo said deserves to be read twice because it describes perfectly the desire that the leaders get involved in a competitive situation. Leaders do whatever they can to pass on a little bit of trust, courage and optimism. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they don't. But their mission will never end. They always have to sustain their favourite team with a lot of passion, especially in a competition.

Think about Manolo, the chief gallery. His interest was to encourage the players and to sustain their spirits. If the gallery was earnest, the field players were motivated to get involved more in the game. When they are sustained by the gallery the players don't feel alone, they don't feel they are playing only for the sake of the game, but for the pleasure of others to see a quality game. In the same time, a gallery without faith in victory can make a football team loose even when it's close to victory.

If you are a team leader and you want to obtain excellent results, the best thing you can do is to follow Manolo's example. You have to cheer up the atmosphere, to give people the enthusiasm they need to control the game, to do everything possible to change the score in your team's favour. Remind yourself that the final purpose is victory. So help people to believe in victory. Wake their ambition and their trust in the necessary success. Always sustain them morally. Do all you can to instil courage and the necessary strength to overcome.

Get involved with passion in achieving your own and your leading team aims.
