Each of us are leaders in our own form. A resilient one may sustain the burden of mess him/her with others instead of bossing others. Bullies became bullies because bullied and they were not resilient enough to sustain the pressure without changing. Those changes adapt forever, got bended, those flex return straight. Where as, Mr. Imran Khan, is a leader by position and authority and there is no doubt that, he has perfectly used all his inherent talent along with the assets in his disposal, and yes his execution of leadership is seen with results. In Imran Khan’s case like many of us choosing wrong profession, he is being forced to do something he is not fit for … sad situation as he neither could step out nor sit and take the pain. On contrary, there is something to learn from him though … trying to put bold posture and a smile at all occasions (remember, there is no positive result so far for him).

A leader is a leader
You cannot lead anyone further than you have gone yourself, but you can point out the path. There is no such thing as born leaders and leadership is not a genetic trait which passes from parents to children, Leadership comes with aspirations and willingness to be to be different. Ancestors can give you behavioral habits, formalities, or may be even morals to an extent. But leadership is something one acquires through hard work, great companionship, once own team building, back ups and fall backs, acquired competitive knowledge, self defence and attacking fire power etc.

Let us see how – if a woman has inherent beliefs/traits which resonates with her surrounding then that woman is probable candidate for leader but still she needs a trigger (ignition) to fully jump/devote her into cause which is called her impelling reason to act. If any of three items if missing a leader will not be born. All three are a function of time hence leadership is unique. A leader once born can never be born again. Leader = F ( Traits, Situation, Reason to Act, Time). At a given time, leadership is the execution part of a leader and in practical sense, how a leader is executing his/her inherent talent or learned subject matters and whether it is by virtue of authority/position or without holding any position or exerting any influence.
