The leadership is not newly created. Perhaps it is as
old as the civilization of human beings. However,
one could hardly see the
term ‘leadership’ ever used as late as three decades ago. The term ‘leadership’ has only become commonly used by countless business
person, companies, academic researchers and scholars somewhere in the late Cold
War period. In the early, the
term ‘leadership’ was mistakenly used by a group of people or some countries
for the meaning to lead the country or lead people from the top. Some others, on the other hand, defines ‘leadership’ as the collection
of the many kinds of quality a person or a state is possessing to effectively
control or manage their public and private affairs. These processes could be
either formal or informal as long as usage contributes to the best interests of
human beings.
To
Mr. Khorn ‘leadership refers to one
special medicine that can cure of kinds of diseases that may happen to human
being through one own’s mentality or physical affection. For Ms. Sok Yi “leadership
means the ability to regulate issues and solve not just one own’s private
problem but collective problems,” since we are one of living beings that loves
life and hate suffering like everyone else. One may hardly find other effective
ways to challenge today’s issue by resolving them alone. We need good
leadership skill from all people. So leadership would be a better tool to solve
those private and collective problems because with leadership a remarkable
diversity of solutions has been developed with sharing commonality snese to tackle
these different challenges.
These
trends of leadership have led me as the writer to use the term ‘leadership’ as
my blog and adding with “Able” to make meaning of leadership more understood.
Leadership must be together with ability. That’s from my understanding of
leadership definition. Without any implact or positive change towards problem
in the society, it is not leadership. No matter, how strong, rich and famous
she or he is they will not be called leadership. It is the ability to bring
society or public to an end and rather push further for development mentally
and physically; that’s real leadership. When
people in society obtain leadership or knowledge and can influence power and
authority which leading to good outcome, that is leadership.
Many
sectors, business persons, companies and international organization are
promoting leadership. They further develop way to wide spread this very special
skill. Why it is because, as long as sustainable development is concerned,
leadership the only key. Imagine when people are productive, what will be the
impact? They will join hand together and drive the country to the best
direction they love. They will get along each other easily. They will not go
into fighting with each other since they are knowing for sure that is crazy to
do that.
To
call for the creation of peacebuilding structures to promote sustainable peace
by addressing the root causes of violent conflict and supporting indigenous
capacities for peace management and conflict resolution, leadership skills must
be trained to all people in the whole society of each nation or states. Leadership
is the process of removing causes of trouble and offer alternatives to problems
by compassionate attitude with wisely behavior and decision. Leadership
involves a range of measures targeted to reduce the risk of problems or
pressures by strengthening one’s capacities at all time and place.
In
short, what generalizes most of the concepts defined earlier is that leadership
is more than what individuals do to get their jobs done but wisely made and not
affect others’ advantage either in the short or longer term. Leadership is
about to a proactive person and take activity to seek improvement for ownself
and the others.
