Society “Zig” Ziglar was an American author, salesman, and motivational speaker 56 JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2018
Society and discover the opening that restores liberty to them. I am using the finding of this experiment to reinforce a point that any leader or person who wishes to be great must encourage independent thoughts and he or she must think in uncommon ways without necessarily following the so called advisors blindly. President Theodore Roosevelt had a common philosophy which made him stand out from the crowd. He said, “I choose not to be a common man. I do not wish to be a kept citizen humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I will refuse to live from hand to mouth. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid and act for myself and face the world boldly.” These words portray Roosevelt as a man who always had independent thoughts and indeed he was. Due to this he was undoubtedly one of the greatest Presidents The United States has ever had. Many times you hear people say in the political and business world that the leader is good but his advisors are the ones who mislead him or her. Remember that many times people buy what they want to buy but not what they need to buy. In other words, people buy things from people they like and in fact this is a proven customer behavior. Similarly, leaders do not get the advice they need but get advice for the kind of people they are. Loyalty to the leader’s thoughts always overrides the conscience of each advisor. The advisors conform to the thoughts of the leaders and therefore end up becoming mind guards. They set themselves up as bodyguards to the decision. You hear them say, ‘He needs all the support we can give him.’ The doctrine of collective responsibility Zig Ziglar said, “If you and your boss reason the same, one of you is redundant.” If one is redundant then it means he is not productive. Therefore folks, I say to you ‘If you wish to be great, do it your way. Think uncommon thoughts, do uncommon things, and as Henry David Thoreau said, “If one advances confidently in the directions of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in uncommon hours.” is invoked to stifle dissent thoughts that are outside the leader’s thinking. They all want to reason in a common way like their leader and end up coming up with messed up decisions. No wonder many decisions that are made by leaders are so unpopular. Zig Ziglar said, “If you and your boss reason the same, one of you is redundant.” If one is redundant then it means he is not productive. John Henry Fabre placed caterpillars in a circle. For twenty four hours the caterpillars dutifully followed one another round and round. Then Fabre placed the caterpillars around a saucer full of pine needles (their favorite food). For six days the mindless creatures moved round and round the saucer, dying from starvation even though abundance of their food of choice was located less than two inches away. This experiment helps leaders to distinguish motion from progress and productivity from activity. A productive leader is the one who thinks of uncommon thoughts; one who does not let present circumstances stop him. He makes his dream come true by becoming creative and allowing his mind to soar. One who finds himself in the same environment which breaks others whereas he breaks the record. Therefore folks, I say to you ‘If you wish to be great, do it your way. Think uncommon thoughts, do uncommon things, and as Henry David Thoreau said, “If one advances confidently in the directions of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in uncommon hours.” nyanchamajoseph@gmail.com JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2018 57
