The Good Leader with heart and soul
April 4, 2007 | Posted in opinion |"You were the leader, then you will be asked for by responsibility."
The ruler was the leader, then will be asked for by responsibility on his leadership.
The husband was the leader of his family, then will be asked for by responsibility on his leadership.
The wife was the leader (his husband’s household), then will be asked for by his responsibility.
The attendant was the leader (on his host’s wealth), then will be asked for by responsibility on his management.
Because you were the leader, then you will be asked for by his responsibility."
(H. R. Bukhari-Muslim)
If his leader was high-quality, certainly will be appointed by the level all of them.
But, if his leader was not better, could fall all of them.
We will not blame who.
Simply leadership was the capacity influenced.
It was increasingly strong that his influence, increasingly great his leadership.
However not had also the influential criminal?
True, indeed had the strong person his leadership, but his strength was used for evil.
So, in this context, that is needed by us now was the person who had the capacity influenced well in goodness.
In the meantime the person who was led then various models.
There were those who are obedient because of being threatened.
For example, "If disobedient, Mama struck you!"
Finally the child just wanted to study.
That the true leader?
That not necessarily, because when his mother was not available, possibly they ran and felt happy.
That not the motivation, but the manipulation or made the person follow the order, but his spirit personally refused.
There were those who are obedient because of being given the gift, "Come On!"
Whoever was studying, will later be given money by Mama 200.
000,00 rupiah.
It was "Automatic that all of his children were obedient because of money", "not because of his awareness."
During his mother say that his money would credited for 20 years, possibly children precisely dispersed and did not continue studied him.
Many people that wanted obedient because of the repayment, but when his repayment not until or had the person who gave the repayment was bigger, he precisely rebelled.
In fact, the true leader did not rely on money, did not rely on the muscle, the position, authority, but the true leader really led with his heart.
The true leader was them who had the capacity to explore the heart of his follower.
That was marked from his leadership that if increasingly occupied high-ranking positions, then increasingly high also the level of his wisdom.
The leader of this kind could generate the awareness of people who were led by him.
In other words, with leadership him he precisely could make advanced people that he led.
The leader who will lead group well initially must be able to lead himself.
How could lead group if leading the eyes that two was not controlled?
In the office pace and all were seen.
As a result from the eyes descended to the heart and if being not good at to control himself, he will be enslaved by the desire.
Not few leaders who fell his credibility because he committed adultery, fell his credibility because of the woman or conversely because of the man because initially could not lead his eyes.
There was the leader who could not lead his mouth personally, spoke in any way, and in the long run many the person that felt was offended.
Don’t in any way sold off the promise to the other person because every time he did not speak and keep him, then would many the person that felt was betrayed.
Not few leaders who spoke, "you did not have the capacity completely", until his subordinate felt his subordinate was insulted and as a result was the fall of the spirit worked.
The leader who could not lead his mouth, he can not lead well.
The leader must be able to also lead his wish.
See the good car, he want to, then all day long in the office thought about the car that was wanted, as a result the work did not freeze.
There was again the good house, want to also.
In fact has had the car, has had the house, but he continued to be enslaved by the wish to enrich itself and have something that was luxurious.
When his work?
Could be his work of being to be enslaved by his wish.
Therefore, the true leader was the leader who could lead his wish.
The good leader could also lead his emotions, led his lust.
Lest he was provoked because of his desire personally.
Therefore, if we aspired to want to lead the other person well, wanted to lead the community, or anything, his first condition was to have to have the capacity to lead itself.
And that was most important, after leading this body was to lead the heart.
How him?
So, if we were the leader must ask to himself, "I this was arrogant or not?"
If I arrogant meant to have the person who was humiliated by me.
The first prohibition as the leader was arrogant.
Because increasingly arrogant significant even more the person that felt was humiliated.
The person if being humiliated will feel was offended.
I might not be arrogant.
I must be humble!
"I was fundamental or not?"
Why I to the office with showed off all, want to appeared that was most good-looking, want to appeared that was most luxurious, and wanted to look most trade-marked.
What for be the leader of the showoff like this?
Whether that was led by me liked to see me like this?
Didn’t the small employees feel wounded saw my fountain pen that his price millions?
The employee that the part mengepel that was not whipped by his heart saw the watch that his price dozens of million?
I this was fundamental or not?
I this the person that ujub or not?
Really I who was most important?
If not having the garbage collector, the dirty room, fell the authority of our office.
If not having the security unit, nightly tense thought about the atmosphere of the office, could not sleep ourselves.
If not having The trade person typed, the letter would not until.
If not having the part cleaning service, all the disorders, did not have our authority.
There was not any that was greatest in our office, except our togetherness.
The leader who continued to take care of himself to not arrogant, did not humiliate the other person, longed for the correction, longed for advice, the not fundamental leader (showed off in his office), the leader that not envy, was the leader that led with the heart, not need to often spoke.
The person that was around it automatic will feel safe and happy.
The conclusion is, if leading the heart well, led the body well, certainly the other person more found it easy to be led because the failure of the leader was the failure he to lead himself.
The prophet Muhammad saw.
It was the person that really sincere, modesty, there is not fundamental, and sparkled personal him.
Although not having the palace, although not with the crown, although not with the decoration, although not sitting in the throne, was not ennobler him up until this second.
The leader who led himself, led the heart, God willing he can lead the other person.
