Generally we feels that others are not performing as we would have performed if placed in such a situation. This feeling may be partly due to one’s biased observation. But there may be some truth in the feeling.
I am very passionate about something as I conceived it want it to happen. One has to understand that others may not know the details and for them, it is another routine job.
The question here is can I inspire others to be as passionate as I am in a cause. There are few points one can contemplate in this situation.
1.
Does one care for others
2.
Does one encourage others do something rather than
ordering them around?
3.
Does one passionate about the job oneself in order to
inspire others?
4.
Is the need clearly communicated to others.
Most of the issues that one encounters in these questions or discussions pertains to relations rather than knowledge or skill. This is to be understood, before one tries to inspire others. I recently read a good example of this behavior, narrated by APJ Abdul Kalam. He was the team leader for Satellite launch vehicle project. When his first mission(launch satellite launch vehicle) was a failure, his boss handled the press conference taking the blame. The next time when the launch was successful, his boss made Kalam go and chair the press conference.
Thus one can inspire peers, subordinates and children with one’s attitude.
