Journalism of Courage
The 8216;stable8217; and 8216;able8217; leader knows that grief and happiness are like seasons. They come and go. They are not permanent. Man gets depressed and elated in grief and happiness and gets emotionally swayed. Being balanced and not swayed in these two changing situations is the quality of the stable and able leader.
The stable and able leader can overcome a situation of grief by finding appropriate solutions and making proper preparation for the future to avoid such situations, and also by absorbing the occasions of happiness with noble fortitude. Thus the stable and able leader is in equanimity and balance. He does not get shaken by difficult situations. He does not adopt reckless initiatives and does not withdraw with helplessness. He bears the situation of grief with courage and forbearance.
Fear and anger create negative forces which sap energy from a person. Fear is caused because of the assumption that some harm is going to occur either in the present or the future. The stable and able leader is courageous because of self-confidence and he will stand up to face the situation. When man stands up with courage, all positive forces will stand up along with him and support him.
Anger is a strong negative force which arises when something occurs which one does not like. Anger is emotion. The stable and able leader is able to combine emotion with reason, intuition with intellect, and mind with thoughtfulness. Thus he achieves balance and anger gets transformed into determination to correct and improve the situation. The stable and able leader does not react to the negative occurrance but is preactive, proactive, processactive and postactive to find out durable solutions.
Attachment comes from 8216;8216;I8217;8217; and 8216;8216;Mine8217;8217;. The stable and able leader continuously moves from 8216;8216;I8217;8217; to 8216;8216;We8217;8217; to 8216;8216;All8217;8217;. When both success and failure are shared then there is an equity and the stable and able leader experiences this 8216;8216;we ness8217;8217; again and again.
Actually the stable and able leader transcends from 8216;8216;I8217;8217; and 8216;8216;Mine8217;8217; by becoming the witness, by seeing, observing and watching without bias. The stable and able leader is able to bear all upheavals, deviations, deformations and challenges silently. This noble but active silence supports his role as witness and the power of balance is enhanced.
