A leader should be visionary or realist

A leader should be visionary or realist


What kind of a leader will you prefer for our country, one who is a visionary who will take you into the dream world or one who is a realist who will make you face the harsh reality?

For:

- Every individual has to go through hard-hitting times and if a leader abstains a futuristic vision, he will not be able to sail through the tough time
- A leader carrying a futuristic vision will be able to motivate his cohorts and give them the assurance of things settling down
- If the leader will not have a vision as to what he dreams for and what he wants, he will not be able to lead his troop as well, and will not be able to take wise derisions
- A visionary leader will not only understand you dreams but also help you to accomplish them

Against:

- A realist person will be able to clasp and sustain his squads focus on the purpose while making sure that the stratagems are executed in time and accurately
- A realist leader will help you in facing the harsh reality as well as the facts without giving you any false hopes
- A leader who has futuristic approach and vision is exasperated with folks who are unable to achieve their dreams

Conclusion:

- Both vision and realism go hand in hand. To be an effective and deficient leader, one needs to possess both these qualities and solve the problems.

  • There are both pros and cons of the subject
    Pros are-
    If leader is visionary he would be specific and confident with the goals he has laid down
    Also he would able to motivate his subordinates to achieve them
    Also he would be aware of future changing environment that would help in dealing with uncertainties
    Cons are
    If leader is realistic he would no focus on the future and thus effective plans would not be made
    If effective plans are not set up, no one would be able to reach the goals
    Yeah we can't neglect the fact that a realistic leader will not be creating his own imaginery world but would be aware of real life situation and would try to get up by considering all the facts of realistic world


    Now as pros are more then cons
    I am in the view that to be an effective and goal oriented leader one must have a clear vision about future

    Thankyou

  • No doubt a leader should have both qualities and he should how to make a balance between them. Balancing both the things will set him apart.
