Leadership

• Mahatma Gandhi was a leader who taught

us one valuable lesson that you can fight a

war with nonviolence (as he did). One of

his sayings was that, “You must be the

change you want to see.” This means that if you want the world to be less violent, first

you have to become less violent.



• "The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within."

-Mahatma Gandhi

• Truth, purity, self-control, firmness, fearlessness,humility, unity, peace, and renunciation—These are theinherent qualities of a LEADER

He was born in India in 1896 andawoke to discrimination while practicing law in South Africa.He brought the struggle for equality back to India, rousingthe population to demand self-rule from the British. He wasprofoundly religious, spending one day a week in completesilence.

Gandhi’s Signature



Mahatma Gandhi

Strategies they used to fight forfreedom…

• Taught others to master their fears

• Used only nonviolent methods

• developed a method of direct social action,based upon principles of courage,nonviolence, and truth, which he calledSatyagraha. In this method, the way

people behave is more important thanwhat the achieve.





Inspirational Story

• A Family DisappointmentGandhi had a low self esteem when he was

young.

He didn’t do well in school either.After struggling to graduate from highschool, he moved on to study medicine in alocal university only to fail badly and

subsequently, forced to quit.His young bride had difficulty accommodating

to his impatient, jealous and demanding

outbursts.



Life In London

• Gandhi had difficulty adjusting to theseasonal weather in London and would oftenbe teased for his inappropriate seasonal

attire and his poor command of the Englishlanguage.

• He worked very hard, trying to excel inboth his studies and other curricularactivities, but failed.

• To cut costs, he gave up his hotel for asmall room and walked instead of traveling

on buses.



His Debut in the Court

• Due to his inadequate knowledgeabout the Indian law, he haddifficulty getting a case.

• Even when he finally secured one, hehad stage fright at the last momentand abandon the courtroom abruptly,

leaving his colleague to conduct thecross examination.

• It was a disgraceful debut.



Turning Point

• The realities of the life and the harsh

discrimination against Indians in South Africa,Gandhi into making a decision whether he shouldpack his bags and leave South Africa or stay on tofight the case, until one day something happened.

• While riding on the first class carriage on the trainto another town, he was ordered to move to thefreight compartment. When he refused, he was

unceremoniously driven off the carriage.• He realized that it was cowardice of him to shun

away from his fears instead of helping the peopleto fight for the rights they deserve!



A Lawyer, A Human RightsCampaigner

• Gandhi then started working hard on the case,drilling into the details zestfully.

• With his diligence and perseverance, he learned a

lot about the case and counteracted against thepunitive nature of the lawsuit by persuading hisclient and the other party to settle on anamicable reconciliation out of court.

• His apt handling of the suit earned the respectof the Indian community so much so that he wasasked to delay his departure back home to help

them on another case to fight for the rights ofIndian settlers in the countr .





Learning

(1) Your Innate Potential Can BeUnlocked By Yourself

You can think that Gandhi had the goodfortune to meet a good mentor who wasable to see the potential in him that othersdidn’t.

But the truth was, there was no such personin his life at that time.

Gandhi didn’t wait for a mentor. Indeed hewas the one for himself.





The new idol for

Indian Business GurusThe Father of the Nation is now being held up

as the master strategist, an exemplary

leader, and someone whose ideas andtactics corporate India can emulate.

“Gandhi reinvented the rules of the game to

deal with a situation where all the availableexisting methods had failed”-C K Prahalad



For Arindam Chaudhuri, Gandhi and Lord

Krishna have both been big sources ofinspiration.

"Mahatma Gandhi's example to me is aperfect case of adopting styles to suit theculture. I just know one thing: there wasnever a leader before him nor one afterhim who could unite us all and bring us out

in the streets to demand for what wasrightfully ours.”



Leadership Style of Gandhi

• Gandhi’s leadership style is a perfect example of Theory-I.

• Gandhi's leadership style is being termed as

'follower-centric' and one that took into account

existing conditions before determining thestrategy.

• For instance, look at the Dandi march. If Gandhi

had gone there quietly, it would just not havemade an impact. He knew he had to create an

event to make an impact and so he took his

followers on a march that stirred popular

imagination of the time.









• Different situations (or contingencies)

require different forms of leadership.

This puts an emphasis on :

• diagnosis

• adaptability

on the part of the leader .
