 "The only mission of life is to ‘Live’. On this earth live every moment to its fullest.This is the only essence of a successful life. People have define life by 200 definitions but I would like to narrate life as - Life has no other meaning except living."

| POWER VERSUS AUTHORITY |
| May 18, 2009 |

Leadership is always authorized base. Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King are the examples of authority’s leadership.
Leadership without character is powerless; authority without influence is tyrannical.
Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspected and must be opposed.
“Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power pre-dominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other,” said Carl Jung profoundly. Never work just for money or for power. They won't save your soul or help you sleep at night.
We have learned that power is a positive force if it is used for positive purposes. I do agree with the thought but looking at the experiences across the globe, power is not used positively in some of the cases. People who have power do not deserve it. YES!
“I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people,” said by Indian freedom fighter M K GANDHI.
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then only our world knows the blessings of peace.
“The lust for power is not rooted in strength, but in weakness.” -- Erich Fromm, Escape From Freedom, 1941.
Power creates fear around your people and you command respect through fear. I feel, this is the failure of leadership. I love power. But, it is as an art that I love it. The way musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds. Power is not an end. See it as it is a beginning to prove your character and an opportunity to influence thousands of lives. Power is a chance given to you to prove your leadership in the organization or nation or society.
Absolute power - absolute politics and absolute politics is zero character.
“The authority of any governing institution must stop at its citizen's skin.” -- Said Gloria Steinem. That’s what happening at home. Mother is focusing on family’s skin. That’s why mother become an authority at home without power. You can influence the life of people around you and create authorities impact. Successful leadership is authority, not power centric leadership.
“The wisest have the most authority” Quoted by Plato before a century. Morality, this character increases your authority. Loyalty around your people and helping them in developing their life standards and quality gradually add authority in your position.
I would like to conclude MONDAY WISDOM with the message, “You shall have authority or you shall have power but you can have both if you have character. The essence of leadership is to create authority impact in the life of people around you and influence them through your character.” |
