First of all, A Happy New Year to you.
I wrote about leadership last week as a follow up on the previous week's post. Leadership positions sometime come early if you display the talent. But this talent, I said, gets overexploited. In the run of the daily target the young leader is utilised for his skills but not enough may get invested in developing him further. This often leads to the ripe-from-the-outside-but-raw-within syndrome.
Now there's an interesting blog by Jack Zenger of the Harvard Business Review which takes this thought further. He believes in starting them young but stresses on the criticality of training and the damage possible without it. Do read it at: http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/12/why_do_we_wait_so_long_to_trai.html
It is difficult not to look at the leadership issue in the wake of the recent happenings: a gang rape bang in the middle of the capital and nobody from the government stepping forward to take charge and show leadership. Sundeep Khanna writes a super piece in Mint about the leadership of listening; the leadership that needs to have both ears to the ground; the leadership of accountibility.
