Leadership lesson from Narendra Modi - How he make use of Meaning, Power and Initiative towards achieving the Goal of “Corruption Free India”

#Demonetization is being used as one of the tool by our honorable Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modi towards achieving the goal of Corruption Free India. I would like to highlight how Narendra Modi utilize the strength of Meaning, Power  and Initiative (considered as three leadership strength) as a step towards achieving the goal of corruption free India. The #Demonetization initiative by Mr Narendra Modi is a true case study of a successful leader and current or future leaders can learn the usage of these strengths and make use of it in achieving the goal of his or her company or country.

Since Independence we are plagued by Corruption in every department of government and a lot of scam has occurred in the past on tax payer money. People were in fear because of this corruption and Narendra Modi like a true leader used this fear as a weapon to define its goal of Corruption Free India and has taken an initiative of #Demonetization which will lead towards that goal. Before Narendra Modi we only got tyrant leaders who were able to rely on their power and they did not offer much meaning or motivation to positively influence the behavior of its followers and this is evident from the downfall of India’s oldest political party. I will suggest the oldest party to learn the leadership skills from Mr Modi.

When Narendra Modi asks us to give 50 days of time when normalcy will return after #Demonetization, it has a deep meaning for Corruption free India. On the rational side it is meaning that leads. Why people are supporting whole heartedly the initiative of #Demonetization is because of its significance and meaning for a Corruption free India. Poor people, farmers, middle class, neo middle class and all tax payers will directly be benefitted from #Demonetization initiative. It is this meaning which is positively influencing the behavior of Indian people and they are patiently standing in ques and are exchanging their money. They are ready to sacrifice their interest and bearing pain for this great goal of Corruption Free India. A leader always helps in removing fear of its followers, providing a positive atmosphere where people and coming generations can live a better life and that’s what our Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi is doing.

A true leader (like Narendra Modi) with the use of his Power always takes initiative which has meaning and create an atmosphere of positive feeling which influences the behavior of its followers. This leads into follower motivation and leader can easily achieve the Goal.

Practical leadership always consists of actions which are intended to create motivation and the ability to use all three leadership strength – Meaning, Power and Initiative – is important for success.
