Leadership is
influence — nothing more, nothing less The story is told of 12 men, all recognised leaders sent
out for reconnaissance before battle. Ten came back with stories of giants
and the impossible, whilst two of them named Joshua and Caleb, believed they
could take the land. The people followed the 10 men who preferred security and
safety. They achieved nothing. Joshua knew this land was the promised land
and they had to fight for it. A few years later, a more mature and prepared Joshua was
able to influence the people to follow him and we all know the outcome, the
walls of Jericho came tumbling down. The Nature of Leadership: 1. Leadership impact increases as influence increases. 2. Leaders do not possess influence in every area. 3. Our influence is either positive or negative. 4. Faithful leaders use their influence to add value.
(The agenda of great leaders is to work for the benefit of everyone). 5. With influence comes responsibility. 6. Influencing others is a choice. (Leaders who give
up, never experience effectiveness.) 7. A leader’s influence must be greater than the
people’s resistance. 8. When a leader has much influence, much can be
accomplished. 9. When a leader places family first, future
generations will be blessed. (Attention, workaholics! It’s time to
retrospect. Taking time for family relationships, friendships and personal
interests has proved to enhance on-the-job performance and psychological
well-being). 10. Self-evaluation: a) What is the level of my influence with the leaders
of my organisation? b) What is the level of my influence with the
followers of my organisation? c) Who are the top 10 influencers in my organisation? d) Do I influence the influencers? (This is the second part of a series of articles on
Leadership.) Evangeline Ranjan, |

Congratulations, Debojit!!
Master Debojit Chakraborthy of Standard IV was adjudged the 2nd runner up in the Personality Contest for Boys. Dominic Savio Vidyalaya at Ghatkopar celebrated their Silver Jubilee this year. As part of their celebrations they held a variety of competitions. While the events have concluded, the spirit lingers on. In a sense, it is the spirit of cooperation that brought so many schools together on one platform; the spirit of support that built bridges among schools; but most of all, it is the spirit of brotherhood that transformed every event into a celebration — the celebration of the joy that lies in education.
