RSS Theory of Empowerment and Leadership:

Recently I got a chance of becoming a part of RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) “Guru Dakshina” activity; I observed the empowerment and leadership style closely and it helps me a lot in learning the core rules of leadership and re-defining  my perception on team building theories. 

I have concluded my learning in 7 key rules:

1. Be a team member rather than team leader to empower other team member towards the assigned goal. It helps in creating the productive environment.
2. Set your expectation very clear and define the process steps if your team members are doing any task first time.
3. Empower your team member with required resources to accomplish the task.
4. Re-confirm from your team members’ whether they have understood the assigned task. You can take a DRY RUN with your team members if your task is critical.
5. Let your team members know that their task is a very important milestone in achieving common goal of the team.
6. Lead by example, you need to set the bench mark which you are expecting from your team members. (e.g. discipline in work-area, showing the respect to other team members)
7. Regular review of process update to take corrective actions if required. Don’t forget to appreciate your team members for their achievements.
