What is leadership? We always imagine leadership as a quality larger than our life. Something with needs a lifelong working and sacrifice. We always think leadership as quality to change the world and to make history. We never thought that it can be a little action which can change 1% of our surrounding. Any of your action which makes your environment better can be term as leadership. Leadership is simply taking the responsibility of an action. When you take the responsibility you take the lead to do that work and it makes you a leader. So try to take the responsibility of your surrounding so that you can become a better leader.

Here is my experience of taking the responsibility of fixing things around me to become a better leader.

Where I was sitting?

When I was doing this activity I was sitting in my bed room. And I looked around to find something which can be fixed, organized, mended or attended to.

What was I doing to fix?

And I saw my book rank which was broken from a point and was totally messed up. The thing is I was asking my mom for many days to fix it but she was not well. And it remain like that for long time.

How I fix it?

So now doing this activity I thought why not I do it myself. And I took this responsibility to mend it and organize it. One of the shelves broke sometimes ago when my cousins visited us and we needed a small wood to fix it and I was like Mom please do it. When I took this responsibility to fix it my first priority was to find a wooden piece and when I was looking in our store I found it easily then I with my sisters help placed that piece under the shelf in such a way that is provide good support to the shelf. Then I organized every shelf of the rank. I placed books section vise. Placed my sibling things in their sections and remove all unnecessary things from it.

BEFORE BEING FIXABLE STATE:

“Messed up like my mind”

AFTER BEING FIXABLE STATE:

“Cleaned as it should be”

How it feels?

I can’t explain my feeling doing it because before doing it I was like how will I do it? How am I going fix it? But when I started doing this it came across me that this is not that difficult as I was thinking and I was like why I was asking mom to do it as I am able to do it myself. This is what I feel foolish because I was like it’s such an easy thing to do why didn’t I do it before.

Whether I do it or not if it was not an activity?

I think if we were not assigned this activity to do I wouldn’t have done this or done by my only myself. Maybe I would have helped my mom in doing this but it’s so good that I do it by myself as if I didn’t do it by myself I would have never came to know that things are not as difficult as we think before doing them and it’s really not necessary to depend upon others to do such small things.

Leadership in everyday:

I think we all feel same when we saw something we thought that someone better than us can do this. A better experienced person can lead to change the things but if we took the responsibility and do that work by ourselves we will come to know that it’s not that difficult as we think. All we have to do is to take the responsibility and lead your own actions to change your surroundings. When we all are able to lead small changes in our surroundings we can change the world collectively.
