In recent past, there has no
river which has been controversial than the famous river of south India named
as Kaveri. The River is originated at Talakaveri, Kodagu district in
Karnataka.. The river was has been so famous that one of the Kannada movies was
made on the same story line as how Tamilians and Kannadigas fight for the very
water.
The river supplies water to
almost 4 to 5 districts for all very good reasons in Karnataka. The silicon
valley of Asia depends on the same water, one must also understand that as the
city has grown so homongously that it drained out all the water and poor
farmers are left with no options. Time and again stage protest against state
government. Which also seems always sleeps around the corner.
The recent times development
has shown people how ineffective the government of Karnataka been for years..
This could happen in any organization, one issue like Kaveri can either make or
break the organization.
Today let’s take leaf out of
what we can learn as leaders from this fiasco??
Leader should anticipate unfortunate situation:
It said in olden days that a
battle is won in the board room not on the war zone. The Government of
Karnataka may have not have expected such a short rainfall this season, having
said that our Chief Minister was never prepared for such a worst situation to
come.. And just because he never
anticipated the unfortunate situation, he has lost the belief in his
leadership. Now congress government is
in such a fix, they hardly can expect them to win again in years to come.
This could happen in any
organization, a leader must always prepare for the worst. One unfortunate
situation you tend you to lose out everything, your followers will surely start
questioning your own ability to lead. What could you do if you are such a fix..
Here are some of the tips.
- Be proactive
- Anticipate unfortunate situations
- Create a team of people who works to handle this kind of situations more effectively and efficiently
- And most important measure and monitor the success!!
Never underestimate your competition:
The CM of Tamilnadu has been
the most effective in terms of ensuring everything goes right when it comes to
handling Kaveri Issue. Time and again she proved that why she is considered as “God”,
she fought and ensured nothing goes as per Karnataka Government.
I think if I may recall how
Nokia lost the charm and the ground against Samsung, I can think of the
mistakes they made. They never anticipated a kick ass product to take over and
kill the market them.
That’s all, a leader is a
visionary who sees both the unfortunate situation and assess the competition so
to ensure the people who follow him never gets affected. I can only sum up this
blog with a wonderful statement “To lead
by example is true treasure, the secret of leadership, in one simple measure”…
