Nothing is achieved if thinking and talking is all we do. Some time some how some thing in the real world will have to be changed to achieve fulfilment of pure physical needs or the from dreams abstracted ambitions.
Seed for change has to be planted and watered. Fertilizing stimulates growth. Weeding prevents unwanted competition and spoiling energy on trivialities.
It needs a good team to get all the work done. Well prepared and fit to do the job they advance according to plan. Threats are faced back to back. Internal problems are left back by solving them face-to-face.
Leadership, although the most challenging task in any ambitious project, will be no question if the one in command understands Lao Tzu’s words of wisdom:
“A leader is best when people barely know he exists.
When the work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: We did it ourselves.”
This kind of facilitating leader needs a strong intelligence based but sense driven personal agenda, the structuring backbone for the team agenda. Of course, he will permanently also need seed, water and manure to keep the business going.
A good mood and sense of humour will help too!
