A True Leader Makes Everyone Important and Uplifted

A true leader is not only capable in leading the people, but in leading the situation.  The situation is only the true test of the leader. In an ideal situation, everyone can proof himself ideal. But the adverse situation certified that.  A great leader makes, even, the average members useful and functional and help the members feel themselves great and important. A wicked leader makes, even, the talented members an average, and propels them to feel downtrodden. A great leader creates another leader, and a bad leader creates followers. Under the great leader, everyone feels important and uplifted, and under the bad leader, everyone feels exploited and duped.

Rama is considered, an ideal leader and king. In the last year of his forest exile, his wife Sita got abducted by mighty demon king Ravana. Rama has no option but to fight with Ravana and his mighty army to bring Sita back from the clamp of Ravana. Rama had no army, and Ravana had mighty army. Rama formed the army of monkeys and bears in the jungle to fight against the Ravana`s army. Rama trained and motivated his monkeys and bears army to fight and bring Sita back from Ravana.  Rama made everyone useful and important according to their talents they had. Rama`s victory was everyone`s victory. That made him an ideal leader and king.

In the Mahabharata, in the companion of lord Krishna, Pandavas converted Khandvaprasth to Indraprasth, and in the absent of lord Krishna, they waged out everything. Yudhisthir could not realize that. Yudhisthir, the elder brother of Pandavas, even, could not understand the capabilities of his team. Sahadeva, one of the Pandavas, had strong intuition. He knew everything about Mahabharata beforehand, but did not tell to anyone, as no one asked him. At the end of Mahabharata, Yudhisthir came to know his talent. Yudhisthir could not use the talent of Sahadeva during the Mahabharata. Out of anguish, Yudhisthir asked, why you not told me about your prowess. Sahadeva replied.., brother, you did not ask me. Sahadeva had a bane that if he uses his prowess without being asked, his head would explode into thousand pieces.

Yudhishthir could not locate the talent in his team; Rama found the team in the jungle and made everyone talented. Rama is embodiment of an  ideal leader and King not Yudhishthir.
