2. Leaders: Anyone who is influencing
the activities of others towards the
achievement of a common goal is a
Leader.
Mahatma Gandhi was one of the
greatest figures of the twentieth
century, and perhaps of the millennium.
He was a prominent figure of Indian
independence movement, propounding
the philosophy of Satyagraha and Ahimsa
advocating non-violence and pacifism. He
was charismatic, but he was also
deliberate and analytical.
3. His vision of the future was a
combination of the spiritual, the moral
and the practical, and it was through his
consistent application of this vision that
he led. This means that he always
followed his vision, no matter whatever
consequences/trouble he had to face.
By his will power and determination
to follow his principles that strengthened
even his followers to endure and work
with cooperation and with obedience to
his ideas, leading to the achievement of
their goal, which is independence.
4. In formal organizational terms, Gandhi
employed few unique methods. Yet, he
clearly knew how to get people in the right
place, to do the right thing. From
arranging ambulance corps, to setting up
formal "protest" organizations, to raising
funds or even recruiting troops to fight in
the War, he was no stranger to structure.
He, not just by words but even by his
deeds, showed his followers/the people
under him, how to achieve the goals set to
be achieved. He, thus became, a living
example and ideal role model to them.
