THE PATH OF THE LEADER DAVID FISCHMAN

Summary
The leader's path is the path of change. Mental frameworks are modified.
based on attachment, excuses, fears, etc... for new paradigms of
thinking towards higher and elevated purposes. It is not an easy path, it requires work and
dedication also requires working on one's emotions and self-esteem. Only by achieving

to learn and use communication effectively. They learn the importance of
empowerment and they work with teams of people, not with isolated groups. They are
people who tolerate frustration because they know that behind the appearance of a
obstacle there is an opportunity to change. On this path many times they set aside their
own needs for the common good, because this will be rewarded over time
with interest.

Self-esteem:
There are many managers with low self-esteem who try to elevate it at the expense of
to feel competent, believing that others are incompetent, and they do this

To be a leader, it is necessary to have self-esteem; if it is nonexistent, leadership does not exist.

The author also argues that we are creators of prophecies (self-fulfilling prophecies).

It is necessary to be aware of our mistakes and flaws even though in many cases
it is impossible to realize this and those who notice it are others. Therefore, it is necessary to
create an atmosphere of trust, so that others can give feedback on what they see and what

it is not necessary, it is vital. The point of detachment is very important, it suggests living in the
present "here and now", not clinging completely to anything because if the expectations

it will come as an addition.

Creativity
A leader changes the established order and innovates; this requires creativity and breaking
personal habits, routine, self-questioning to identify the mistakes to correct.
Changing habits is very difficult, laborious, and sacrificial, but it is another of the foundations of
leadership and to break the frameworks that are the first milestone of innovation.
It is necessary to take risks to be innovative, as well as to reverse the established.
Taking risks is relatively good, it allows us to develop. Taking risks with change,

Learning.
Leadership cannot be learned with a simple instruction on how to be one, but with the
example, with the change of habits, and the true instructor will be the manager.
Leadership is something very complex and encompasses a lot of personality to be
taught, it can be achieved if one desires to do so and is willing to change, starting
due to bad habits and having someone who sets the example.

is competent because one must listen to others with empathy. Many people with
problems, they want to be heard, that's why "ACTIVE LISTENING" is a tool
that greatly eases the leader's path.

Effective communication.
There are two styles of reaction in people, the aggressive and the passive; the former causes harm.
many directly to people, the second is more harmful, manipulates and generates
an air of distrust, this is solvable with mutual respect.
Speaking badly about others behind their backs harms not only them but the whole
organization. Leaders must lead by example, thinking carefully before speaking.
Words have a lot of power, they can build or destroy with them. For this reason in

Give power.
Give more power to subordinates while bringing out their positive side, giving them
autonomy to use resources and preventing managers from doing the work of
subordinates. This is promote the self-management
y the pro activity.
Delegating authority to subordinates allows the company to become more agile, enables the
subordinates make decisions for themselves and thus avoid wasting time, money and
human material.
Before granting power, the person receiving it must be trained, giving it to them gradually.
avoid giving it when it is not ready yet.
Rental cars are not washed: When the authorship of an idea belongs to someone else, others
they deny to intervene in their development, for this their responsibility on the subject must
increase to have a high degree of autonomy, that is, to take people who lead
likewise.

Teamwork.
The group is characterized by individualism and the commitment to the company encompasses only its
departments, while the team is more dynamic has commitments to the whole

Service.
The leader stops being the center and thinks about the needs for growth and development of
its people, lets go of selfishness, listens to its subordinates, and puts itself at their service.
Another characteristic of leadership is its selfless service orientation,
