What Is The Role Of A Leader In His Own Life Story?

Deepen every level of leadership so that you can get people to align with your beliefs, ideals, and actions.

I want to continue in this article a very important idea that captures the essence of leadership, an idea that I started in the article “The Secret Workshop of Leadership”.

For those who haven’t read my blog post, I’d like to summarize the subject a bit. At the beginning of “The Devil’s Advocate (1997)”, Kevin Lomax, a very ambitious young lawyer, manages to acquit his very wealthy client (who had been convicted of double rape). Immediately after this success, Kevin is recruited by the famous law firm “Milton, Chadwick & Waters”.

And it wasn’t a long way from here to Hell. His wife dies, his mother dies, and his friends mysteriously disappear. His life is falling apart. The culprit was none other than his adoptive father, John Milton, who, at the end of the film, offers to join him and “serve” sin and the devil himself. But Kevin, overwhelmed by the memory of his wife, makes an unexpected gesture: he commits suicide, ending this pact with the devil.

At the end of the film, the events unfold back, and we see Kevin Lomax again, entering the courtroom, bewildered, where he had to defend the defendant accused of rape. Here he meets his beloved wife, and due to the reunion, due to the feelings he had for her, he decides not to represent his client, thus refusing to morally decay. Love saved him from moral failure.

Do you have to give up what you are for what you can become, or do you have to face “sin” to figure out who you have to give yourself to?

What role do you feel you can really play? The role of a leader never goes unnoticed, so he has to decide whether he can play that role or not. So the biggest role of a leader is the role that he feels he can really play. But this role must be played in accordance with the criteria of honesty and integrity, which define the character of the leader.

Leadership has an integrative character and shows the spiritual and ethical dimension of the leader. For leadership to reach maturity, the leader must somehow guarantee his or her obligations, and his or her behavior must not affect his or her self-image in any way. But at the same time, the turn leadership takes (dependent on other factors) must not affect one’s personal life.

Leadership is dynamic, and it changes depending on the relationship between you and other people. Just as a player cannot be penalized for an offside when he has at least two opponents closer to him than their own goal line – so is the case with you, in order to climb the leadership ladder, you must reduce the risk of being penalized by other people when you break the rules and deviate from the moral standards imposed by them.

Because yes, people set the tone for choosing a leader. So, it is absolutely necessary to regulate your relationship with them morally and emotionally. And when the discrepancies between you and other people are too great, it is better to give up – because continuing is akin to tilting at windmills.

Is your performance affected by a trait that someone else identifies with and dominates you by inducing a sense of guilt that causes you to be submissive and always allow things you otherwise wouldn’t?

How do you advance on the leadership ladder? (Do you have to give more to reach a higher level? How do you morally and emotionally regulate your relationship with the people around you? Is your leadership more insecure the more you advance in your career? How do your emotions and feelings affect your performance?

Consequently, it is worthwhile to focus on consolidating and sharing values ​​that immunize and enhance the power of your own Ego, and then suggest to people the inclination to the well-defined essence of circumstances that can strengthen their character. The way you conceive your character, the way you interpret your role, with realism and involvement, with balance, with responsibility and lucidity, marks that dimension of your leadership that allows you to continue the process of convergence to the standard accepted by those who must follow you.

These are the questions that any leader must answer in front of his “I” and decide whether to continue on the path in one way or another, or give up.

The way you conceived your leadership, the way you interpreted your leadership role so far – was it done in the right way? Do you encounter the spontaneous tendency of people to accept leadership based on honesty and morality? Are you navigating a deep tunnel that leads you to nothing? Do you think it’s possible to lead people without knowing yourself? Do you deviate from moral norms and professional ethics? How did you set out to achieve happiness through leadership? What do you think is the factor that can stop your momentum and demotivate you to rise higher in the hierarchy?

Regardless of the level of consciousness a leader reaches, he must always return to the first level of power: that of preventing his own victimization.

The higher you get, the more likely you are to feel the need to return to the first level. As your influence grows, you may find that the people around you are “disappearing”. It goes without saying that influence does not automatically mean a high-quality level of leadership, but can lead to values, and thus to the exclusion of happiness. What is the price you have to pay to achieve happiness through leadership? Because the higher you get, the more commitment you need to stay there. You don’t get to something great if you offer very little, or if you deviate from moral norms and professional ethics. But you’re also not getting much if you’re tilting at windmills.

One thing is true for leaders who aspire to a healthy lifestyle. It is not only their potential that is valued by those around them, but their whole personality, their whole style of making themselves understood, of conveying what they feel, therefore, of empathizing with those around them. How one dresses at a certain moment, how one expresses their feelings, thoughts and opinions, how one behaves in different circumstances, etc. But it is no less true that this style, even if elevated, is not always accepted and does not always correspond to the rules of the majority.

Establishing relationships with other people, but failing to understand yourself, is like navigating a deep tunnel that leads to nothing. You are basically sinking into the darkness of your own ignorance, limited by yourself, but especially by the chains of outward prejudice – moving further and further away from that beneficent light that fills your soul with peace and joy. Tip: Respect your leadership duties by re-evaluating the way you perceive your own being, but constantly evaluate the “status” of the people you lead, as well as the positive changes you make.

Leadership is the power to see how far you can go, reevaluating the way you perceive your own being in terms of a meaningful life.

The Role Of A Leader In His Own Life Story is that of the immortal presence of the divinity in himself. Furthermore, what Yoga Swami said must be kept in mind: “Do not interfere with those who have no real interest in spirituality.”
