Leading people – awakening life
A book on the topic of Leadership by Anselm Grün
from Thomas Schmidt
1. Characteristics of the person in charge
If you want to lead others, you must first know yourself and be able to lead yourself. Self-knowledge, dealing with one’s own emotions, needs and passions is the way to become a good leader. Thoughts and feelings must be questioned and understood. The awareness of needs and emotions allows to lead clearly. It prevents transfer to employees and thus prevents confusion and loss of energy through – as Grün calls it – “emerging power struggles and jealousies”.
Beyond the described ability of a leader to lead himself/herself first, the qualities and character are crucial. Grün lists the following important character traits: Experience, human maturity, modesty, humility, not being excited, being just, making clear decisions, thriftiness, fear of God and being like a father.
Grün does not spare criticism of today’s managers and at the same time shows how important character is: “Some managers would do better to deal with themselves first and explore their own soul instead of immediately dealing with difficult fellow human beings and a better organization of the company.
