As an engineer what sort of interesting going from solving technical problem to solving people’s
problem from being an individual contributor working in a team doing those small tasks to achieve a
common goal to being someone who sets those goal and delegates task and with this sudden change
there isn’t a particular book that I could refer or read to become efficient in the new task. So, I
googled and found this:
After reading this I realize isn’t it how all person should be. When I dig deep into it, I realized. A
leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will
say: we did it ourselves. Being a leader is the part in everyone’s life whether we realise it or not, but
we all are leaders in our life and we must pay our part right.
Then I move on the qualities or talent I need to develop in my path to become an efficient leader.
Since my childhood I like meeting and talking to new peoples knowing and sharing each other’s
experiences this has help me a lot in knowing the story from other side of the coin but some of the
skills like Delegation of tasks and Accountability are lacking in me and I realise by learning in this
course that “A good leader takes little more than his share of the blame and little less than his share
of the credit.” I decided to learn these skills from my peers in my study group sometimes I clear my
doubts through someone more experienced than me and I found my support in some of my friends,
relatives, and great professor we have in our collage they help me in taking and shaping my
decisions in the crucial time.
I decided to prioritise the delegation of task as the most important quality I need to develop, and I
try to apply it in the tasks and assignment we get from the professors, and I am developing at a
steady pace and to check this I usually look towards the achievements we got a study group. Did we
complete the task on time? Did everyone played and enjoyed their part and the constructive
feedback I get try to apply it in my learning and the next task I get by this I am able to focus on my
accountability part as well.
By doing all of this I realised that Great leadership starts with self-leadership, and I got a
confirmation to this in our 17th lecture of the TBL course that all this comes to a single point that is
self-introspection and self-development. When we look at the model of being an ideal leader the
great leaders like Nelson Mandela or Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar I observe the experiences or the
challenges and conditions they faced are really very different from me I cannot copy them and
become a leader. Its me and my Experience which will help me to become an efficient leader, and
this is what this course tells us how to be a leader by investing in oneself and working on it. We need
to be more self-aware. So, here is my last trick I do to develop myself I maintained a diary where I
rate myself on a scale of 10 the decisions I took and if I could have done it in a better way this helps
me to look and mark my progress.
“Progress means getting nearer to the place you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turn,
then to go forward does not get you any nearer.
If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right
road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.” By C.S Lewis
