Leadership

Everytime, I come through the word "Leader / Leadership Quality" my mind travels to my past and have made me happy.

When i finished my Graduation/ Post Graduation, I seldom see people coming forward to do new things. May be that would have given me all the chances to show off my strengths and qualities to the world I know. I could call myself lucky to project me that way, since all opportunties knocked the way i passed through. Yet the thirst for Leadership still within me.

Its been 5 years, since i post Graduated, 7 Years, since i Graduated and 10 years, since i finished school. So many changes have occured, in everyway i know. My entire world has changed from the North pole to the South. Infact,now i love the way i am...

It happened to me to visit one of the institution, where i was working some 5 years ago. There, they have called me, based on my old records and achievements for a short assignment. Though i cannot take up some serious careers, the offer looked attractive, since i can use my comfortable timings,being an old person, i have become a priority and i had a comfort zone of not developing a new reputaion.

Everything in the institution was changed though, the seniors remained the same, that is why a second chance was given to me. I; before 5 years, was demanding attention and was the centre of attraction, with my attitudes. While a lot of new and fresh people have joined and now, they wanted to proove themselves, and dying to demand attention of the institution.

Now the Question is, should i still compete with them and behave the same as i was before 5 years or Should i let the new ones feel that they are important to the institution. It a kind of a confusion in the beginning.Adding to fire, one of the young chap told me, "Lady, times have changed, Process have been modernized, why now you suffer with all this stuff, we will manage, and we will give you the easiest ones. You can stay relaxed and do it, by taking your time". I know nothing has chnaged in the process, expect for a new implementation, which would hardly take few minutes for me brush through.

But then, Now i am supposed to behave matured, for they age i am in, I will have to accept the fact, i am no more a college girl or a trainee, to prove everyone; that i am capable of doing those small things which i have proved myself earlier.
Also, i remembered, my seniors, who actually let my ground free, when i felt i wish to proove myself and i was lucky enough to make everyone have a look at me.

I have tasted it before, now its time for me, to lay the ground for the young chaps to have varities of career satisfaction, which i had when i was at the beginning of my career.

Leaving way, is also one important thing i learnt these days, and i believe, this is again a form a Leadership, which is rarely recognized, yet understood.
