Vijay Eswaran is known for being the chairman and founder of QI Group of Companies, a conglomerate based out of Hong Kong. Vijay Eswaran is highly regarded for his business expertise and personal/life development skills. In a featured article written by Eswaran himself, he gives a detailed look into the four pillars of leadership. In his introduction, the businessman states leaders are never given a title but must earn the position by motivating and bringing others along.
They are able to do this through insights, words, or actions. Some leaders can be born with the necessary skills but well-known figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King worked through motivation and drive to lead and bring people together for a bigger than ever movement. The first trait he singles out that true leaders have is the ability to take action for their own mistakes and wrongdoings. They also are able to delegate tasks to others and do not settle for the bare minimum. The next trait is leadership comes with the ability to bring people along by getting them to believe in something bigger than themselves.
An effective leader not only has a lot of belief in himself but gets those around him to believe and improve in whatever they are doing. The third trait is leading with a purpose or significant main goal in mind. A unique mission will bring others along and get them to believe in the goal at hand. Effective leaders care for their team and are interested in what others do. This can bleed into everything a true leader strives to do on and off the field. The most well-known leaders such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela are most recognized for their compassion towards others. Vijay Eswaran believes this is where their legacies come from.
