Topic: Leaders are Dreamers (Read 190 times)

Some US leaders want to remove gasoline as a method for transportation. That's why they are pushing the electric vehicles so hard.Some States are even banning as much use of natural gas and other fossil fuels as they can.

Here is OPEC, confirming that they will keep the oil flowing, so that prices on oil are dropping. They need to do this to remain competitive with Russia. So much for banning fossil fuels in America an other parts of the world. People do what is cheaper, or they change their governments.

Leaders are dreamers.

Crude oil prices continued to move lower despite the Energy Information Administration report that inventories had shed 2.2 million barrels in the week to September 29.

This compared with a draw of the same size estimated for the previous week by the EIA.

A day earlier, the American Petroleum Institute reported an estimated inventory decline of 4.2 million barrels for the last week of September.

Having the dream is one thing, being able to interpret the dream so your followers understand and are on the same page with your dream is another thing.
The leader can't build whatever he's trying to build on his own. He needs support and if the people giving him this support don't understand or even believe in his dream they're all wasting their time.

In my country leaders are not dreamers, they're just people who are good at playing politics. A lot of people mistake good politics for good leadership which is so, so wrong.
The fact that someone is a good politician doesn't mean he/she will make a good leader.
A good politician knows all the right things to say and do to buy the minds of the people. They know how to lobby people in strategic positions to get what they want.

You are seeing leadership from the larger scale and this could hinder your true understanding of leadership. Being a leader does not mean that you will have to command and control people in their thousands and millions. It is not only the president and the governors that are leaders. I will appreciate it if you see leadership from the grassroots. If you understand that the father in aby family is the leader of that family. If you also understand that the first child is also a leader. Among the play group of children, there is a leader inside. In the denomination and workplace there are leaders.
They could be controlling just two persons. It doesn't matter. But once they are in charge to make some certain decisions at that time, they can be called leaders at that level.

Leadership is the most hardest role one can ever imagine, to be a leader, means being in charge of controlling people, in their hundreds, thousands, and millions. And that's the literal meaning. Human beings are the most complex set of creations in the world. So controlling them as another human being will require a whole lot of efforts and energy put into the process.

Now, let's talk about dreams and the actualization of dreams. That could be identified in two folds. One, is for the leader to have set up an idea and ambition to pursue their visions while the other one is to put up a team of technocrats and experts that will help you actualize your dream. These team becomes your Cabinet members. The quality of the people that constitute your team, determines the success and failure of the leader's vision.

Just remember, decades and decades ago, the general was the water-boy-like in the military. He was the lowest class, even lower than a private. He did all the disgusting jobs that nobody else wanted to do. Wherever a 'body' was needed for some menial task, the general was the guy that did it. But look at what the general is in today's military.

The general of long ago became the people who knew what was going on throughout the whole military operation, because they were the guys who did all the jobs. After a while, when some menial task needed to get done, only the general knew what to do. He instructed other soldiers in ways to help him get jobs done, because the generals were the only ones who knew it all.

Gradually, over time, the generals were recognized as the people who knew what was going on, because of their experience doing all the crappy jobs in the military. Their position became important, and gradually arose to what it is today.

Of course, today's generals often don't know what is going on. So, the real generals in the military should be the ones with the most and best experience.

I think it should be this way in the rest of the leadership world.

A leader can be the guide of the nation and the leader of the nation or the hero of the nation.But nowadays, we do not find this word leader to be any match with its original identity, now leader means busy with how to get his benefits.But we can have good dreams when we hear the names of leaders by whom history has been written, such as the founder of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the founder of Christianity, Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him). Nelson Mandela George Washington Abraham Lincoln Mahatma Gandhi Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Yasir Arafat is the longest winning leader Those whose leadership qualities made the nation dream and laid the foundation for realizing the dream are the present and the qualities that attracted people Through them, we still see the true aspects of leadership.
***The first characteristic of leaders should be love of country
*One should separate oneself from kinship
*The most important quality is tolerance it must have
*The opinion of others should be given importance and the interests of the country should be looked after by abandoning one's own interests
*The quality of a great leader is that country, religion, caste, and time should not be separated.
**Finally, I want to say that the leaders will be dreamers. I hope that if they can manage the country like the great leaders who were there before, then when people hear the words of the current leader, people will not look bad and believe like before Many leaders in many countries are trying to do good things. They will one day be written on the pages of history by their actions.

Leaders are visionary readers who striving to create if not excellent and perfection, a welcome able development to the society with an aim to create it's legacies on what good to be remembered for and looking forth the future to bring more better increments to advance other led leaders who are formal and not to lead a stagnations or backwarded visions/dreams
A leader should always know the destination of the masses/organisation and of course the ways forward to bringing merits for the goodness of the society and not of selfish interests.

Op, Leaders are legendary people who work day and night, they have fixed aim in their mind. Their aim are clear for them. They make a daily plan, weakly  plan  , monthly plan , and yearly plan. They make a progress report. In comparison, dreamers are people who see a big dream. They don't  take action to turn dream into reality, they don't work hard. Leaders are people who don't quit, if they get no result from work, for which aim they are doing hard work. They stick to their aim and after they become successful in their aim. Dreamers only think hypothetical and do not not struggle and quit their aim if they do not get any reward. Leaders are awareness of moneymoney. Talktive persons cannot become leader. Wisdom is necessary to become a leader. Leaders unite people and can speak openly and can deliver their message.

I don't see leaders and dream like that of sleeping on the bed at night and dreaming only because you can also get inspired or get confirmation to what you want to do to take the society forward by dream, I don't see it like the type dreamt by Joseph but I see leadership dream as aspiration of what he wants to achieve for the society in the future. In other words the future comes in as very important for the leader. A leader who doesn't have clear positive future for the people obviously will crash the people on a place they won't be able to move away from in a long time and this includes economic stagnation and redundancy. But having a positive dream for the future will improve the lives of the people and the generations to come because of the positive policies that were implemented.

Leader or not, everyone can be a dreamer but not everyone can be a leader. And the success that one will get isn't just easy to get and they won't stop working on it until it is finished. Even finished, they never stop and that's what a dreamer and achiever is. As for the mindset of a leader, it's all about the entire team that s/he will lead.

What's sad truth is even how hard you want to get that success, leader or not. There can be some point of your time that you just want to give up because you think that even doing more than 100% of effort on it, it looks like not enough.

I believe a true leader should possess the heart of a dreamer, but not just any dreamer. A leader should carry the spirit of a visionary dreamer. One who can imagine a brighter tomorrow for their people and their organization, and who can ignite the spark of inspiration in others to join hands in chasing that dream.

But they should also be grounded in realism, blending their idealism with practicality. They are a responsible dreamer who can consider the consequences and impacts of their vision, and who can adjust and adapt their vision when necessary.

A leader must have his dreams on how to lead his people and provide for them with the right resources that they need at the right time,either through actions,words or other means. A leader with no dream will end up not being a good leader because he wouldn't add any value to his followers but  he will be proud and arrogant to his people.

When one is a good leader he will make sure that he achieve his dreams by staying focus and committed to whatever goal he is chasing and will always put the interest of his followers first. Everybody has dreams but how can you turn your dreams to reality depends on how you believe in yourself.

If the leader's dream is for the benefit of the nation and society, then this is a great thing, but if his dream is at the expense of people, then this is a terrible thing.

For example, some leaders dream of expanding their kingdom, and thus they lead their people into wars and disasters that they did not need, but the leaders do not care and continue with their dream, even at the cost of the death of thousands of people.

The topic of leadership is a very complex topic and we could easily debate on it for much time.
So I will just share my point of view. The status of leadership implies there is a state of nonconformity or there is a challenge to be overcome.

A president can be a bad or good leader, but saying a leader must be a dreamer implies there is a vision forward the future, if there is no vision forward then we could say a person can be a good president? Probably not, because it would imply that person will make things to stay the same or even get worse for their co-citizens. The leader is supposed to push forward to a state of perfection does not exist.

A dreamer can be a good leader? Not necessarily, because there are other characteristics which are important to have in a dreamer to become a leader: communication skills, patience, confidence on themselves and mental strength to make choices under relatively high pressure. If a dreamer fails to have what it takes, then the vision forward the future cannot be put in use, unfortunately it is probably the story of many dreamers out there.

When a leader dreams,he give rise to achievements and realities.

Right from the origin of christianity, history may have it that the founder was a dreamer,who breakdown the visions and imagination into a realistic form.
Dreaming first start with your mind,your imagination,your thoughts then into actualization.

Leaders dream out their success,this is not by merely sleeping and dreaming,but it is achieved by consistent nurturing of the inner workings of your mind. as a leader your dreams come alive when you so desire it in your mind,your thoughts that way your nurtured dream is cultivated into actions and a working body.

Like great success activist,when they have a particular dream,they plan out how to achieve and attain that dreams, inorder to get results and evidence.
Leaders are not afraid of practicalizing their dreams,they are practical dreamers,nevertheless they oppose every forces and make that dream a physical reality.
