LOOK &LISTEN: All these great leaders

have a vision, and the ability to manifest it.

These all the leaders were defining their

own vision and begins with looking &

listing.I found 4 important steps, involved in this LOOK & LISTEN:

• Body: the stage of observing and information gathering

• Mind: the stage of analysis and judgement

• Heart: the stage of feeling

• Soul: the stage of incubation

Once you satisfied that you have gone through all these stages

your vision in any given moment will emerges.

EMOTIONAL BONDING: Leaders bring out the best in others, but successful visionaries go even further. They form lasting emotional bonds.

When people are emotionally bonded to you, they want to have contact with you. They want to be of service and share in your vision.

To create such bonds, you must be willing to build real relationships and share yourself.

Emotional Bonding

one to take. As a leader, your own

awareness affects, everyone around you.

AL: Lincoln had only 18 months of formal school, but he was self educated and an avid learner. He was not only a keen reader and excellent writer but also a local wrestler.

DOING: A leader should be action-oriented, only through action can you bring a Vision to life. But Vision & Action must be compatible, to make them so requires Skill. That skill begins with walking the walk, energizing others, around you and recruiting them to your mission. As a leader, you must identify the role you are expected to play.

Empowerment: It is the fruit of successful action. Power comes from self awareness that is responsive to feedback but independent of the good or bad opinion of others. This isn’t ego empowerment, which is driven by the demands of “I, me, and mine”; you are empowering others at the same time as you empower yourself. It raises the states of leaders and team together.

These al leaders are grounded in being. They

isn’t invested in either doing or thinking.

Everyday their existence is focused on

keeping to the right path, wherever it leads.

Responsibility: It means having concern for everyone’s personal growth. This responsibility begins with your own evolution. In 8 areas of your life you have the power to be guided by your soul:

• Thoughts

• Emotions

• Perception

• Personal Relationships

• Social Role

• Environment

• Speech

• Body

They all are risk-takers & they took the

responsibility.

They brought the Revolutionary changes in

the society.

Synchronicity: It is the ability to create good

luck and find invisible support that carries

one beyond predicted outcomes to a higher

plane.

In spiritual terms, it is the ultimate ability to

connect any need with an answer from the

Soul.

This final aspects of leadership is more mysterious than the others. Successful leaders can all look back at small miracles in their lives, but successful visionaries look back at major miracles.

And all these leaders believes in this soul & wisdom which makes them the great legendary of this ERA.
