Like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi has become an iconic figure. “The Lady who frightens the Generals” – Fergal Keane, The Sunday Times leadership Style
I think her leadership style is Charismatic.
Because like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela,Aung San Suu Kyi has become an iconic figure. She struggle for human rights and democracy in Burma, and for general people. Why Charismatic? Her – Vision Mission Convensing Power Behaviour Her Mission Her aim is to help the people attain democracy without further violence or loss of life. She strongly believes that the army should keep away from politics to preserve its own integrity, as well as for the good of the nation. She was offered freedom by Burma military government if she would leave the country (Burma), but she refused. She refused it for her country and Burmese people. Her Vision She is doing politics not because of her interest but because of her father’s name and her country. Furthermore, Aung San Suu Kyi’s idea of freedom is in the mainstream of Burmese thought and therefore easily understood and widely accepted by the people. From the outset of her involvement in the nation’s peaceful struggle, she offered a fresh vision of a free Burma where the people might enjoy self-rule and basis human and civil rights. Her Convensing Power Even she is still arrested frequently by the military government of Burma, she never gives up her belief and she is still doing politic with her self- confidence.She said “when I was in house arrest, here my own, I would come down at night and walk around and look up at my father’s photograph and feel very close to him. I would like to say to him then: It’s you and me, father, against them” The lastly she said to Burmese people is “Hope for the best, Prepare for the worst “It’s indicatesthat she order her civilians not to give up and fall down our hope and self-confidence. Her behaviour Aung San Suu Kyi is exactly her father’s daughter in many ways – superbly intelligent, honest,fearless and tough. If ever given a chance to her, what sort of leader would she be? Her power to inspire devotion and enthusiasm would be a major asset in getting support for the difficult and unpopular choices she doubt would have been called upon to make. Conclusion-
Aung San Su Kyi, the woman known even to
her enemies as “The Lady” continues to struggle for the democracy in this tragic land, Burma. THANK YOU!
