Dear Friend and colleagues please share your views on importance of coherence in leadership. How much it justify leadership personality. In absence of coherent approach what draw back leaders face.
Thanks & Regards
Dear Sayed Mohammad Tariq Zafar
An inconsistent leader (in words or actions) will not be a leader for long. History is full of examples in this regard. What makes leaders stay over time is nothing more than the coherence that exists between what they say and do, of course, from their perspective.
We have to forget that the personality of the leader marks his leadership, since the reality is different, beyond his personality will be his works and results, which is what really attracts followers. A "nice" leader without results is less attractive than an "autocratic" leader with measurable and practical results.
The absence of coherence creates doubts about the leader's ability to "lead" so that whoever does not show coherence will be judged incompetent and will lose the image of his leader in front of his followers relatively quickly.
I hope this helps.
In my work applying negative dialectics to understand how we might better realise an emergent future, I see coherence as the essential link between the present, the adjacent (future) possibilities and the emergent future. Here, leadership has a key role in developing and maintaining that essential coherence. It is leadership that are the custodians of the adjacent possibilities and who must guide our emergence to best effect.
