Navigating change and uncertainty: The mark of an effective leader
In my opinion, “Change is not something to fear but rather an opportunity for growth.” And this is where leadership steps in to ensure its realisation.
Leadership is truly put to the test not when everything is going well, but rather when a crisis arises. During a crisis, leaders often find themselves compelled to adopt unfamiliar thinking patterns and behaviours. The qualities of a competent leader are determined by their conduct and response in such situations, either meeting or falling short of expectations.
India’s struggle for independence from British rule offers another compelling example of leadership in the face of uncertainty. Mahatma Gandhi, often regarded as the father of the nation, exemplified effective leadership by spearheading a nonviolent movement against colonial power. His leadership principles of peaceful resistance, moral authority, and inclusive mobilisation galvanised millions of Indians from all walks of life to unite in pursuit of freedom.
