Do you remember The
Lion King[1]? As an animated movie, it brought fresh air to
an industry and company that really needed it, combining an exceptional blend
of humour and tragedy.
A little spoiler
alert in case you haven’t watched it! On the way to become a king, Simba suffered a
big tragedy in his life, but the way he deals with it is to just move one and
enjoy a free life in jungle.
That is the inspiration part of being a leader in
difficult situations: nothing is too bad so that your mood goes off. But the leader’s wit comes from a deep sense
of stability, not from carelessness or worse, by feeling disheartened.
Nobody is really invincible and yet, when you are a
leader, even your worst defeat turns into an occasion for reflection and
self-progress. Maybe it is the fact that
a person who takes on a leadership mind-set will have truth by his or her side,
or maybe it is the wisdom a leader builds along a life’s journey… Whatever it is, obstacles in front of a
leader become part of that journey’s landscape.
Isn’t
it good to be a leader? A leader is
merged in a lead role of a hero movie and you just know the end will be
brilliant!
