Spotting them young!!

I grew up reading about corrupt politicians, scams, hatred speeches and all sort of things which would make any sane human hate the political system or better put the politicians. Amidst all this I had to choose some political party, some leader as my favorite. I couldn’t live ignorant all my life thinking all of them are the same. So as I started understanding things better as I was in high school I started developing a liking for the party that has been trying to change the leadership in the country away from family owned kind of setup which has been building over the years after independence. That’s one reason I never developed a liking for this party who kept using a family name to gain peoples acceptance term after term. More than that I obviously won’t support someone whom I hardly know about, who doesn’t have any track record! So I started supporting this veteran who was respected by one and all. But then his party ruled the country for a few years and then it was time again for family legacy to continue. But to everyone’s surprise that dint happen and one of the most deserving person got the hot seat and still continues at the top job!! I have been feeling good since the day this job came to hands of this person irrespective of people calling him just a puppet. With his wisdom and commitment am sure even if he has been used as a puppet he’ll do the right things and as seen for the last few years he has!

Now coming to the key aspect of this article… and being a management student the kind of emphasis I lay on building the organization one belongs to rather than worrying about its leadership. This youngster (at least in terms of politics) has actually caught my attention in the last one year. He has done things that have changed the way his organization works, he has almost become pretty close to someone whom I’d like to be updated about, may be learn something from his skills and ideologies. Let me just try to scribble a few things that made me actually write about this person and think highly of him.

Recently as the top leader of one of the organizational units he barred people with criminal records from contesting local organizational elections. (Strong signal of building an organization with people of good background right at the bottom)

He also advised/directed party members not to use red/ orange lights unnecessarily, and made it explicit that action will be taken against people who use/misuse the same. (If implemented as per his words this would help in cutting down a lot of attitude and ego that a ruling party member carries with him, making the life of common man miserable)

Won congress the electon, single handedly, took charge of states like UP where Mayawati and SP have always fought the battle and congress was always trying to find the right match for an alliance. Due to his sheer hard work congress was able to give them a huge shock, which normally wasn’t thought as possible over the years.

He simply ditched the option to be a cabinet minsiter, which people across his party and country hoped for. But he chose to be an organization person than a leader. (That’s the sign I see of a person who doesn’t need power to change things, he just could make things work by building the organization with right kind of people and a proper vision for the same)

He was also touted as the to be PM of the country for a long time by various fronts, but he simply rejected the rumors regarding the same too and simply made the point clear that he wanted to build the organization first. (I strongly feel this is right kind of leadership, this is the kind of leaders/politicians our country needs.)

Now I can say this is the kind of people the country has to find and groom!! And when? Spot them YOUNG!!!

P.S – I don’t think there’s a need for me to even name the person I am talking about, its just clear!!
