When I was watching the a Fort at one biggest city of india, I looked at the lavish life style of the king of that place and his palace. It was also having the photographs of the British Viceroys during the colonial regime from MacAulay to Mountbatten and so the portraits of Prince Edward. However no one was able to touch my heart.
I was stunned! How this can happened! The Lord Macaulay, he was a pioneer of Indian education system, the kind Edward was a king of India, the sun was never set in his kingdom, and again the the Indian king was king of Indian Territory he has done very good things in his territory. But not accepted in all India. Why I can't accept them as a good leader. What is that it made to not to think them as a Icon?. Was it wrong with my thinking? That I am not appreciating there work? Was it that I am not knowing the history?.
Then what was the reason?
I simply felt that these people were not a people’s person. There motives were different than the motives of common peoples aspirations and ethics.
Like the king Akbar, in spite of being Muslim King he was appreciated by people. He was the person who understands his people’s need. Removing taxes like jiziya and many other good works were done by him for the people. Take an example of King Shivaji or even Mahatma Gandhi. These all people were having strong understanding of people.
While understanding the leadership first thing is needed to understand that personal leadership is about guiding the self. But when you are becoming a leader for other teammate you need to walk the talk and become their person. Need to understand the impulse of people, should get heat if your people are suffering with high temperature or even the cold. You must not do mere statistics of your people but must understand the people in depth. His\her triggers, competencies, lead and lag indicator in moods \ performance \ working style and excreta. That’s make you a people’s person.
It means that your people can relay on you to share their failure and challenges. Many a time bosses fails at the first point, cos they don't want to understand people’s impulse or don’t want to be with them or share their piece of appreciation.
One need to always become people’s person, you can have numerous opportunity to become a boss, but you have very few consequences as a boss if you become people’s person. That is a shift from boss to leader.
Once you understand the difference between boss and leader the next thing is appreciation.
In appreciation, Key thing to note is passing on the credit of work to individual. And not accepting this as your success. The reason is you are only igniter of the fire within the individual. This is a job of you as a boss. Make the life of your person unrestful with the problems and also guide him to understand the way out. And appreciate timely when the solve the problem or completely understand the problem
Here the hint is people always understand the intention of appreciation, you cannot fool them every time bay false praising, Hence appreciation at right time in right time plays important role here.
Similar way of reprimand by people's person is different.The People's leaders also reprimand in a classic manner like 'One Minute Manager'. style. One minute reprimand - What was a cause of things went wrong, how it could have avoided and what is a learning. Simple thing no talk of personal or team failure.
As a leader, one must push ourselves away from taking credit and passing it to the person who had done it. And also taking negative credit with us for all the thing which are not so good. That is real step of becoming people’s person. I am thankful to all my favorite leaders who shown me the same path of appreciation and being people’s person
