One of the most important tools of
leadership is warmth. That’s something, which can neither be taught to a leader
nor can it be acquired.

The gait of true leaders can be
recognised from miles away. Their warmth, way of interaction with their
colleagues, a gentle pat on the shoulder, a smile or a greeting (without
expecting one in return) are powerful conduits of influence that align
organisations in the directions of common compelling goals.

I have personally met many alleged
leaders in life for whom giving a smile or an involuntary handshake tantamounts
to parting away with a family heirloom. But there are no awards for guessing
what the future of such companies is. And I have met leaders who exude warmth
that can move mountains and instill hope and promise within anyone / any team.

Warmth creates an environment of
trust and allows communication of ideas. Ideas make an organisation. Companies
that allow ideas to thrive and propagate are the companies that become great.

Warmth also helps you to connect
immediately. Connections and interactions based on the bedrock of warmth and on
being a genuine human being last a lifetime.

I recently watched ‘The Great Gatsby’ who I
thought was an epitome of warmth, love and hope. He was betrayed at the end. But
then the world would be bereft of trust if we fear betrayal.
