Leadership By Consensus
Gone are the days be it in a secular field or even in the liberal autocratic set up, leadership is on A person based. These are the days when we move together and where the leader knows which direction his team has to take. Yet he does not make a deliberate step to direct but by consensus and keeping the vision each and every person is shared into this vision and automatically the direction follows.
Such a leadership is indeed a skill but also where the Leader does not any more fit into the irrelevant term called BOSS. Speaking to a friend recently this thought clicked like a spark into me.He shared how being entrusted to take the responsibility as a Principal he took the school team (Parent, Teacher & Students) into confidence and led them by consensus. The board of the school became anxious- cause the ways the other schools were run were by the rod! My Friend a Committed Christian was living the Christian Principle of Leadership.................................

Autocrats and dictators do not have long 'life-span'... dictator Musharraf just escaped impeachment by a narrow margin. Good for him that he showed little bit of wisdom before he was dethroned in an embarrassing manner!
Wow you made the topic very real.
Yes Sathish the whole concept of Leadership is changing i believe leadership does not truly come from the popularized image,however i think leadership is BORN in community as men and women of God listen to each other and to HIM.
i think we need to seek to understand each others not just welfare,but even woundedness and strengths.thats when we demonstrate True Leadership.

Bhaiya, you are not updating your blogspot...
Do not give Leadership to someone as Reward or Award even if there is consensu for it is a calling from God and so discern it before you give to someone. Otherwise it will be disastrous for the Team
Let us ask ourselves: Can I/we refelct a Right and Biblical Approach in Leadership? Not the way World looks at! (as we can not go that way & it may be contradicting Godly Leadership.) Majority will be wrong and Minority Report will be right in God's sight!! So go for God's way. Mike
