Bhagwat Says True Leadership Means Working From Behind

The Story in Brief

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Thursday that true leadership is not about speeches, winning elections or preaching to people. Speaking to Gen Z and Alpha students at an event in Mumbai, he said leaders should work from within, share success, fame and material gains, and recognise others’ qualities.

Bhagwat said a leader must act like a warrior during conflict and guide people towards “light”. He said he sees himself as a worker rather than a leader. The purpose of leadership, he added, should be to create more leaders, not to lead alone.

The Indian Opinion

The easy narrative that leadership is simply public speaking or electoral victory misses Bhagwat’s central point. But the opposite claim, that working behind the scenes automatically proves better leadership, is also too generous. Any leader should be judged by outcomes, accountability and the space given to successors. The test is whether those “created” leaders can act independently.
