In the age of Gig economy, Word Authority lost its semantically true value with the prevailing scenario of the global upheavals. It’s Simple Phenomena Called “Great resignation”. However, one of the factors of ‘Great resignation’ is prevailing working conditions. In the Era of the fourth industrial revolution[4IR] i.e. Rise of the A.I, Big data and Rapid Expanding the frontiers of Science & Technology, Authority reflects itself as Primitive as Neanderthals.
Authority marks command and command leads to sheer execution, sans context. The underlying note is “commandment should be replaced by context and refurbishment of hierarchical cubicles with leaders and leadership teams who are master at context coding. Authority always annihilates “lateral thinking”, which is the Gateway of Innovation and springboard for the future Disruptions and Integration. Leadership should embrace the contextual strategy rather than authority, we can surf the Monstrous tidal waves and glide through unparalleled executions when the right contextual systems are in place.
Creating Context in line with the business milieu is like chiselling the Master craft from a great Monolith, where authority delivers only mundane results not a master craft.

The working definition for leadership is the person who can match an inspiring vision with a clear view of reality; leaders guide the changes from the reality to the vision and the ability to attract followers or constituents, who share those values and goals When the whole world wants something, how do you get to the head of the line- know-how leadership!
Above all, leaders must be trusted and respected. Trust between a leader and constituent leads to an open-up two-way flow of communication. It’s like Apollo’s arrow for achieving the organization's milestones.
Aspire to be a leader must-have qualities and attributes. Qualities are like your signature behavioral Attitude and it’s unique like you. Attributes are, other hands are when you joined the organization and start expanding skillset. Attributes are easier to learn and one of the indispensable ingredients for leadership, and far out-standing the Quality.

~ Good leadership requires you to surround yourself with people of diverse perspectives who can disagree with you without fear of retaliation ~
The one-liner for trustworthiness is integrity in action. Trust, when earned and nurtured, will endure. Your high-precision skills and microscopic detailed Orientation are a ticket to an admission of leadership. Ethos establishes your character, will make silos for impeccable and white lily reputation. If leadership is not a Hallmark of Trustworthiness, then teams and Constituents start exhibiting‘ Canary in the Coal mine’.
“Integrity is honesty carried through the fibers of the being and the whole mind, into thought as well as into action so that person is complete in honesty. That kind of integrity I put above all else as an essential of leadership.”---- Pearl S. Buck.

Most of the bosses use authority carelessly to achieve their job done. But unfair bossism is damning and even reflects the flawed character of the leadership. A leader shouldn't be followed by unfairness because it sets wrong precedents for constituents and organizations. Trust and Fairness are the hallmarks of True Leadership and pathway to winning culture.

Unpretentiousness implies that dignity and voices for all people, no matter what their background, rank, or title, is a principle for unassuming Behavior. If leaders have an unassuming behavioral marquee in the organization then enriching work culture will flourish in abound brook into a stream and so on. It nurtured the values of the organization and makes silos into cultivating a defined vision.
Say yes to everyone but should know when to say ‘no’. The key is “you should be an active listener whether you are listening to someone or someone listening to you. It all makes a great difference in the armchair of decision-making. If you are not the active listener to your constituents and the team, it will damper their team's morale, and ‘new sparks ‘will not be passed to armchairs. So lend your ears but when to say 'no' is completely contextual and subjective. It's the most valuable attribute and least understood. It‘s Cinch!.

Open- mind attribute is a unique feature of the chief executive while making M&A negotiations and marking the windfall decision for an organization. Oligarchicism and distastefulness will clog the decision funnel; it leads to flawed decision and set the wrong precedent for Organisation culture. The open and inviting attribute makes the collective decision and holds for collective accountability

Leaders are polite, considerate, understanding, and careful that what they say to someone is not dispiriting unless criticism is intended. This is not the new one, but quite often it’s over-sighted. Leaders cannot motivate or make an impact on the teams or constituents in reality unless they know their team's/follower's psyche. One of the greatest Leadership traits is ‘detecting and managing team wavelength with the organization core vision. It's like periscope depth of analyzing team psyche.

Disagreement and debacles are purely dependent on situations and situations are created by people hence leadership shouldn't deal with the situations by people for analyzing the factors and leaders must ensure that stakeholders are at the helm of the analysis. Square off the context.

Think in bits and bytes, use judgment for a particular task, and keep alert for execution. It simplifies the task, called initiative. Initiatives are most courageous and foresee thought of the leadership and defined advantage in the competitive edge. It’s a toolkit for nurturing the culture of Can-do attitude and liberalizing tightly coupled monolith hierarchy.

People with good judgmental skills [Time tested and proven] are the greatest resource to the organization and boon to the decision body.
"Judgment is the ability to combine hard data, questionable data, and intuitive guesses to conclude that events prove to be correct. Judgment-in-action includes effective problem solving, the design of strategies, the setting of priorities, and intuitive as well as rational judgments. Most important, perhaps, it includes the capacity to appraise the potentialities of co-workers and opponents--John Gardner.

Change is constant and adaptability quantifies the success rate in the competitive circumstances of the disruptive market. Plasticity enhances the longevity of the organization with periodical ramp-up by great recession and disruptions. Change sucks that how our common pitches against the adaptability, but with precision tools and data we could transform the non-performing organization to windfall Inc. If leadership ducked the adaptability then it will be a lethal factor for the organization's balance sheet. Adapt the change at the fine-tuning of time, symphony composition.

The skills required to conquer adversity and emerge stronger and more committed than ever are the same ones that make for an extraordinary leader and before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself, when you become a leader, success is all about growing others.
Resisting the developmental journey of leadership is like flying to an exciting locale, but then spending your whole time there in the airport bar. There’s a valley to cross before you reach the peak. And there’s another valley between that peak and the next one. A leader must not fall into the error of thinking that he was ever meant to become lord and master of whimsical nature.
Leaders drive values, values drive behavior, behavior drive culture and culture drives performance, high performance makes new leaders. It’s culminating in Winning Culture.
