Leadership beyond inspiring people

There was a time when leaders behaved like their customers, this approach generates harmonious contact for the relationship with customers and investors and permeated the idea of ​​healthy contact, with investments in human capital for employees and for those who collaborated so that more people were part of it.

Becoming a celebrity has a similar meaning, the word comes from the Latin “celebritas” and means famous; the word leadership also comes from the Latin, “auctoritas”, and has the word influence as one of its meanings. Being influential, being famous requires posture and behavior and, really, influencing many people is not an easy task, but when is inspiration the basis for saying a good leader?



Recently, chairman Kiyoshi Kimura of the Sushi Zanmai restaurant chain fetched a 276-kilogram tuna fish for $1,8 million. It is not the first time that the “King of tuna”, as he is known, has done this feat. In 2019, it was the turn of a 278 kg tuna for US$ 3,1 million; in 2017 it was US$ 642 thousand for a 210 kg tuna; in 2013, a 220 kg bluefin tuna for US$ 1,8 million. There are those who think that the contest is held for that, I'm sorry, but they're wrong. The fair was held elsewhere for over 80 years and is aimed at the general public.

An influential and famous leadership is one that is with its client, trains its employees to provide good service, collaborates to maintain the relationship with its audience. In simple actions such as buying a fish at a fair, regardless of whether the value is to attract attention (it could very well be that), the president shows that he is a person like his customer, who eats at his restaurant, this vision is more structured .



Several leaders are highlighted in the media for the way they conduct business. Some try to impact with donations, others with actions in their stores, others adhere to the writings of their day and are charismatic, attentive, quick and lead a new way of doing marketing.

Transparency is a clear and inspiring word. Showing that you are happy all the time doesn't help much, people have problems, they want to know how you solve their difficulties to serve as a guide in your life.

Words do not express all the actions that people go through. Small victories are just as important as the power of appeal that bands initially had when they started in the 60s fever and today draw crowds with their members and fans past their 60s and younger fans becoming part of that energy. What is it? Power to inspire.

Thomas Edison, inventor of 2.032 patents, the most famous being the incandescent light bulb that failed 1.200 times. Yes, exactly, it took 1.200 experiments before the idea worked. Today, a lit lamp is the meaning of having a brilliant idea, that is inspiration for many generations.

Leadership beyond inspiring people

Positive impacts are not established with deception or lies, anecdotes are told since Aesop, the difference is that in the words of the Greek slave they served to impact people to think of stories as examples of situations and today the stories have become jokes that satirize common attitudes.



Big difference when you think that a person was a slave and used symbols with creativity to generate intelligent thoughts across the entire population layer, unlike current jokes that exaggeration for political correctness is part of a weak story that explores the worst faces of the error.

“Inspirare”, in classical Roman times, figuratively meant “to insinuate something into someone's heart” and the love for the form of inspirations already shows the side he chose: love. Whoever loves inspires, whether in the words or in the behavior that materializes what you feel. History has more to teach us than we can imagine.

The form of attention and pastime was done in the verses, songs and songs passed to lighter sonorities and today they fall back to behaviors that make the words more burlesque and play with the heart.



By the way, burlesque comes from the Italian “burla”, which means joke. Here's the reflection for the time you want: if before expressions that made sense to your life like the smiles and laughter for the words that made you feel better inspired so much, what about now with parts and jokes that make you miss?
