This Is How I am a leader
by: Irghalim
I have been wondering in my whole life how to interpet
the beauty of life. Life contains so many treasures that God bestows to His
creatures that I myself find it difficult to understand their essences. one of
its magnificence I like most lies in the quality of leadership. Humanist may
say that humanity is the notion to define human nature, and socialist may also say
that social is the way of to understand coexistence. I, however, want to say
that leadership is the idea that embraces both of perspectives because I could
understand the notion of humanist and socialist through the study of
leadership.
As my turning point to define leadership, in my 15th,
I have encountered the biggest fear of human could have, the fear of oblivion. I
had had to break up with my dearest girlfriend, and that was the hardest time I
have ever been through. With all the immaturity, I did nothing but crying and
whining why was the life so unfair. But one day, after so much desperation I
suffer for over a year, I realized something that there was noone could assist
me but myself, so I tried anything to resist any temptation to be stucked in
disadvantages time. Therefore, by that time, It is my very first time to
demonstrate the quality of leadership, independency.
Furthermore, by the time I entered university, I did
realize that life is so precious that my life will be vain if I care about no
other but myself. In consequence, without dismissing the independency I have
learned, I began to adapt with my new surrounding that consist of many
different perspectives. By means of adapting, I learn how to suppress my ego,
and thereby I tried to put others point of view and mine altogether, then
blended it into harmony. Hence, That is the time I learned the second quality
of leadership, multidimensional perspective.
To these days, my desire to be useful to my
surrounding have motivated me to join campus senate as my preference to taste
the atmosphere leadership. Having experienced under many leaderships, I notice
that the core idea required most to be a leader is to be insightful to others.
As a leader, It takes an extra effort more than independency and multidimensional
perspective to have a wide knowledge of others so that the leader could
empowers people around them. For that reason, I start fascinating on how to be
friendly in order to have a deep insight to my friends and to be tender-hearted
person. At least, this is my third time of observing the quality of leadership,
sense and sensibility.
As for the conclusion, due to my limitation as human
being seeking for divine treasure, I acknowledge that there are many other qualities
of leadership which is my duty to look after them. Nevertheless, these three
qualities are my principles of leadership. I cannot own such multidimensional
perspective without independency, and, vice versa, it is impossible for me to
have sense and sensibility without the presence of these others two qualities.
