Top 6 leadership lessons from Jayalalithaa

It was a rough ride for Jayalalithaa when she entered politics. But, her goal was clear that she wanted to serve people. She did not lose focus and motivation and had the courage to fight back. "In politics men think a woman is dispensable. They try to destroy her existence. But today no one can wish me away politically,” she said once.

Jayalalithaa always worked in the interest of people. Many times, she has fought for her people of Tamil Nadu. A good leader always takes the team with him/her and always saves it in desperate times.

A good leader is a great visionary, who are future plans. Jayalalithaa had already tabled her Vision 2023 document and wanted Tamil Nadu to be in top 3 Asian destinations for investment.

Jayalalithaa had a great willpower without having any arrogance. Her self confidence was something to look out for. She never backed down and came back for her people.

Once when Jayalalithaa was coming out of the assembly, the then minister for public works of the DMK govt obstructed her path, clutching at her sari as she cried for assistance. Jayalalithaa publicly vowed to never step foot inside the House until conditions are created for a woman to attend the Assembly with dignity. She never gave up and returned as the iron lady of politics.
