Abstract
We all have the potential to rise above our circumstances and attain great achievements. But that is only possible with those who are dedicated to and passionate about the work they do. It is Vision Bearers who aspire to attain ripple effect with their talents who will leave a legacy of significant impact. To this end, Vision Bearers will have the impetus and motivation to create more leaders, with less emphasis on more followers. They will seek to identify emerging, conscientious frontline teams who will have positive attitude and deep desire to serve and positively transform lives of communities. That’s also how they will attain exponential growth in the institutions they serve. It is such gallant frontline leaders with altruistic goodwill and appropriate values who will be given opportunities to enlarge their competencies through relevant training for capacity building. These are frontline teams with deep desire for a great, just and noble society, who will be expected to become the architects for a corruption-free society. The role of Vision Bearers will likewise change from routine day-to-day management functions to that of consultants, coaches, counsellors, advisors and mentors as they share their invaluable experiences and wisdom. That’s how they begin to lead from the back. With new scope of knowledge and skills emerging every other day, it’s only wise and advisable to continuously create opportunities for up-coming leaders to take the center stage. These should only be those who pass the hard test of trustworthiness. They should have passion for learning and adopting newly emerging technologies too. Soon, when the job is done, everybody will come to realise they were all along being led from the back by the ‘shepherd’. It doesn’t matter in the long run who gets the credit, as long as institutional vision and team goals are attained.
