Leadership as commonly viewed by people is something that comes with title, power and attention.When we do not have these three things,we usually believe we're not leaders.Today's series will bring us all the excitements and baggages that come with leading from the back.This is the type of leadership that pays the best nowadays.The piece is titled: Strength in Silence,by Deborah Benjamin.

               STRENGTH IN SILENCE 💪
What is leadership to you?To me,it means the qualities,character and mind that will make you fit to command a platoon or group.This definition was actually abstracted from an article I read:"Solitide in Leadership, October,2009". However,these qualities and characters need to be worked on and built intentionally.While building them,you would need every help you can get.This help is what I am pitching today.. it's the help that servant leadership offers you.
Normally, when you're called a leader,you ought to be in the fore front, doing all the talking, raising all the ideas and giving all the instructions.In recent times,the polity is a situation where all leaders need to facilitate progress by being the opposite of the above mentioned.There is a great strength in Silence.Sometimes ago,I read an article by Nelson  Mandela,where he explained how  servant leadership promoted follower's commitment,diverse ideas and rapid development.He said at first they thought he was foolish, allowing them do all the talking,facilitating their exchange instead of controlling it.The result was usually the result every leader wants to have.
 As a leader in the twenty first century,you need to switch to this method of leading from the back as it affords you the chance to see everything going on before,it allows you the chance to think uninterruptedly and see what others can't see.
It is not all the time that your voice needs to heard as a leader.When you silence your voice and give chance for other voices,you get to hear ideas that could actually be what you need.You need to learn the listening ability.
There is a great Strength you can get from Silence.It makes your followers feel important and encouraged to think and think through.This eventually brings out amazing ideas,even from the seemingly dumb followers.
This is my own theory of leading effectively.LAUNCH-You can introduce discussions as a leader ➡️, FACILITATE-Do not control,resort to maintaining orderliness ➡️ LISTEN-This should be your best part.Listen to all ideas.Never look down on any suggestion of people you're leading.➡️ UNDERSTAND--Try as much as possible to understand every one of your followers.Understand their feelings and empathize.Give room for following their lead.If it is the wrong path, they will understand better that way.➡️FORSEE-When all these are put in place,it will give something we call Foresight.Yoy will be able to see beyond the moment.You will be able to see what others are not seing,and that will really help you as a leader.
When you give in to this new strength of silence,you will encounter a change in your leadership life.
