Leadership is an indescribable ability based on concrete principles and a tool that anyone can learn that helps one guides an organization or group of people in a beneficial direction or to a valuable destination.
A value is something considered worthy in and of itself by a person or a group. It can be a one-word standard of conduct or a policy everyone in a company adheres to and believes in. it helps people to understand what is desirable behavior and what isn’t. They are more powerful than rules.
Values play a very important role in everyone’s life and also in leadership. A leader is someone who has followers. Thus he has to follow a pattern of ethics and values. Our nation needs ethical and imaginative leaders at every level. The future of the society depends on leaders who are capable of providing strong leadership, who understand that leadership means service, and who believe that their very citizenship carries the obligation to lead when circumstances require. The study of ethical leadership is a critical component of any leader, and he must incorporate it along with the traditional emphasis on policy analysis and formulation.
The long-term success of an organization, community or society depends on good leadership, not just on technical proficiency and skillful management. Good leadership must be grounded in ethical values. There are tensions between personal values and goals, on the one hand, and organizational, community, or societal values and goals on the other. Ethical leadership involves recognizing and reconciling those tensions.
A leader should be able to identify human values and act on them. Human values include gratitude, loyalty, humility, patience, gentleness, dignity, honesty, etc. and a good leader has to consider all these characteristics. It must be understood that archetypal human being in a sustainable, living earth system has to be nearer the ascetic rather than in acquisitive type, even if the former re-emerges conspicuously only a hundred years or more.
Therefore to be a leader Reflection is essential i.e. he should respond to a particular situation as it generates the inner toughness needed to be an effective person of action. Leadership is the sum of two vectors: competence (your specialty, your skills, your know-how) and authenticity (your identity, your character, your attitude). For e.g. When leaders get stuck, they tend to apply more steam, more competence, to what got them into trouble in the first place: "If I try harder, I'll be successful," or "If we exert more control, we'll get the results we need.”
The problem is, when you're stuck, one not likely to make progress by using competence as his tool. Firstly, the leaders need to dedicate to understanding himself better, in the philosophical sense of understanding what it means to exist as a human being in the world. Second, need to change his habits of thought, for e.g. how you think, what you value, how you work, how you connect with people, how you learn, what you expect from life, and how you manage frustration. Changing those habits means changing ones way of being intelligent. It means moving from a nonleadership mind to a leadership mind.
Values are extremely powerful and they guide the leaders to identify what human behavior is acceptable and what behavior is not while practicing leadership. Leadership and learning are important individual values and form a symbiotic relationship for a leader.
