1/20

Leadership qualities of

the lord Buddha


2/20

The Buddhas leadership was to uncover

the truth and not to hide it.

It does not matter whether the truth is

bitter, a true leader genuinely faces itrather than runs away from it.

Then he preach nothing but the truth.


3/20

You do not need a leader to

take a sip of water from

flowing river.

A person who float

downstream with the water isalso not called a leader.

A person who swim upstream

is indeed a leader.

That is what the Buddha did

to find the truth of life.


4/20

The Buddha first attained

the Buddhahood after long

struggle and then only he

asked others to follow his

path.

A true leader never preach

without himself experiencingit firsthand.


5/20

Buddha never preached

others to follow or impose

rules without himself abide by

those first.

For example before his

disciples were asked to

restrain from eating in the

evenings (vikalabojana) ,Buddha himself had been

following that for long

period.


6/20

Buddha never mere preach

and asked only others to act.

In order to restrainviolent beings like

Alavaka or animals like

Nalagiri, the Buddha

himself took theleadership.


7/20

Great teachers always teach

others what he has

experienced and understood.

Within every leader, there is

a great teacher.

The Buddha is the greatest

leader and the teacher of all

time.


8/20

A petty bogus leaders are

filled with fear, suspicion and

jealousy.

A true leader is someone with

compassion and he always

protect others at hard times. A great leader enjoys his

subordinates success.

The Buddha helped all his

followers to win over sufferingand protected against endless

suffering of sansara.


9/20

Lot of leaders arrogantly think

that their followers must talk to

them.

But the Buddha, always talkfirst (pubbe basitha) when he

meet someone.

Great leaders are never

arrogant in front of his

followers or subordinates.


10/20

Buddha is a genuine leader.

He had no tricks or hidden

tactics of management.

Therefore, the Buddha always

confidently look straight onto

the face of people he is talking

to.

Qualities of a good leader: Moses


12/20


13/20

FORESIGHT

Moses (Our example of typical leader from the Bible) had

foresight from the way he asked good questions in the

wilderness, on the Mountain of God in Horeb


14/20

HUMILITY

Moses was very humble and the signs he showed were a measure of his humility

The Story of Moses and Pharaoh can somehow be likened to pride versus humility

Pharaoh was proud, Moses was humble

Even the Bible says Moses was the meekest man on the earth, far above all others

living on the face of the earth


15/20

Knowing How To Use Good Men

This can be seen in the way he urged his brother in law (Hobab) to follow them to

the promised land

We should note the clever way in which Moses urged him to follow the Israelites,

not first telling Hobab his experience and knowledge in the wilderness would be

useful


16/20

DELEGATION

Moses listened to his Father-in-law

and appointed 12 men from

each tribe to look after the ration

and

Equal distribution of food to the people of Israel


17/20

CARING

This can be seen when he

intercedes with

GOD

to provide food to the

hungry people of Israelites


18/20

OBEDIENCE

He obeyed The GOD in providing water for the people by striking the rock and

water was flowing from it

We can clearly see that he was responsible for the Human Resource as well


19/20

CONCLUSION

Moses represents to us, one in a long line of reluctant leaders of the Jewish nation,

raised in luxury and with the finest schooling of the time. We might say that Moses

was born to be a leader, if not that then certainly made into one by the

circumstances of his upbringing. Moses however displays not the qualities of a

Pharaoh, a strong hand and often times oppressive leadership, but a quality we

look for in all leaders, servant hood.


20/20

Every leader is a follower, every follower is a human being,

every human being is the person next to you
