Leadership


To be a leader, you must first know yourself to understand the needs of the people you lead. Few people exemplify that better than Mahatma Gandhi, who is most popular for his employment of non-violence in solving conflict. One major conflict he helped to solve in this manner was the independence of India from British rule. Gandhi was quoted as saying, "Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man." Although most would agree with that, Nathuram Godse would probably not. In 1948, he shot Gandhi three times in the chest, killing him almost instantly. Despite this, Gandhi's legacy lives on in the memory of peaceful fighters everywhere.
