The Big Charade

Successful Leadership by Neculai Fantanaru

Leadership is the art of penetrating the inner world of others, to guide outer transformations through a deep understanding of their feelings and emotions.

In the books written by J.K. Rowling, there is this character Dumbledore, being portrayed as an old sage with a deep understanding of human nature. He can read the thoughts and emotions of those around him, often anticipating future events. In fact, Dumbledore doesn't just give advice; he subtly manipulates events to guide those he loves to the right path. For example, she hides the truth about Harry's past to protect him from pain.

Every man is an unraveled charade. Therefore, you must endow yourself with the gift of the second view, that of a wizard and visionary, of the man who cannot avoid in any way the whole complexity of feelings and emotions that others live. So that you can adjust any change in their inner world, which precedes their outer change. As a man endowed with the skillful description of the feelings of others, you will manage to adjust any change in their personalities filled with ups and downs.

The stages preceding the whole process of human psychical and inner change succeed in a natural, almost identical order. Regardless of type, size and form of leadership you practice. But constantly, just as an editor who identically renders the events, struggling hard not to add anything, no fake elements to his story, you must respect the condition of objectivity which, I repeat, excludes the delusion caused by a false or superficial knowledge.

Leadership regularizes the complexity of inner feelings, through a vision that anticipates and harmonizes inner changes.

This long process of "unraveling the big charade" helps him quickly calculate his area of influence, nesting easier among barren and moving, gentle or steep hills of human soul (which, for most, it is questionable).

But not all rivers flowing into the sea form a fluvial system. Not all actions have immediate effects, not all leaders who pour their ideals, principles, values into the holy grail, full of unexpected of every human type, can amplify leadership.

It is your merit of being notified that people need you, of your resources of knowledge, of your ability to plant in their existence the seeds of some values that would complete their personality and to fulfill them on as many plans as possible.

However, for your leadership to take shape, for your influence to be effective, you must rely on yourself, on your way to conquering the "magic" just as the football game relies on applying tactics. Furthermore, last but not least, you should be able to delineate your reality to that dynamic reality, in a latent state or manifested by other people.

Mastery in leadership is reflected in the ability to create an ecosystem where each individual can discover and manifest their maximum potential, thereby contributing to a larger vision of progress.

By building an awareness campaign of your own capabilities, the management of that attitude that keeps you in touch with yourself, and then with the other people, must be part of the objectives of all your guidelines.

A doctor, by subjective symptoms, sometimes vaguely defined, determines on the basis of some objective criteria and based on some adequate reasoning the cause of the disease and the probable limit the patient's life. In the same way, the leader as to integrate more easily in other people's reality, as to make way through the finest and thinnest branches of their existence, and to be able to produce the complete change, or even partial, must point out the light of a reasoning that would serve as a reference standard of his mastery to lead and to handle any situation with maximum results.

Depending on their acceptance or refusal to grant their confidence to you, whether to provide to you or not all resources necessary for their development, you will be able to highlight your real qualities of a leader. Remember that those who completed their leadership, those who managed to climb the lofty heights of the human soul, and then had the courage to descend into the most hidden depths of the true character that defines the moral essence of human, only those attracted enough "white balls". Only those understood how it is created, how it is controlled the "magic".

The concept underlying the implementation of "magic" is based on the experience of recognizing you as being dependent on the desire to exteriorize your inner feelings.

The great charade is about deciphering the true nature of man. This, especially when we encounter difficulties in deeply understanding the experiences of others, because without this understanding, any attempt to guide their external transformations remains superficial.

The cold statistics of the finest emotions, the strong will to collect and transmit the finest subtleties, all the triggering emotional elements, mental, psychological - from the smallest gesture, from the slightest fraction of a moral idea, up to the liveliest feelings of gratitude, of communion and fidelity - all this creative stages, of unchaining the human potential - are indispensable to leaders.

The true human nature cannot be tested, nor easily or indifferently viewed like in a mirror, as a final aim. And its knowing, its evolution in time, in the long period of formation must be simultaneous with the very act of becoming itself. The moment it heightens the wings of cleverness and assiduity to the high sky of accomplishment. Or the moment it denies its high values and gets lost behind a hopeless horizon, like smoke in rags of clouds.

In the case of leadership, we will always have to deal with the "gift of second sight", that is, even if we do not feel fully prepared to comply with the demands of the situation, we will not be able to bypass the full complexity of feelings and emotions that others experience.
