Leadership Lessons From Kargil War
Leadership in Crises
In Kargil war, Temperature -48, Altitude 2700 meter, where even breathing is difficult. Only basic food that is required for survival was available and on some nights even that was a luxury. Where basic daily routine work like bath and toilet is a difficult task. Where they have to sleep while sitting or hiding under some rock. In these circumstances young army officers motivated their troops to carry their weapon and fight with deadly and invisible enemy. How do these leaders inspire and lead their teams to win against all odds in the most adverse situations and come out victorious?
Dare to Dream
Some targets look beyond human capacity. In Kargil war, the enemy was on the top of the mountain peaks and Indian soldiers were not allowed to cross the LOC. These soldiers had to climb from the front to attack the enemy and there were no shelters, no place to hide. Enemy was able to see our soldiers from top and shoot. To hit our men was an easy task for enemy. They only have to drop stones from above and not even waste their bullet to kill our men. “It is impossible to win in such a situation” commented many army authorities from other countries, but our men were able to win Kargil War. How some of the leaders were able to achieve nearly impossible victory, in extremely difficult situation?
Together We Can
Men have to march forward towards enemy, trusting their comrades that they will cover them, fire on enemy and keep them safe. This is ultimate example of team work where team members keep their life on stake trusting another member of the group. There are many instances where goals can’t be achieved with individual efforts, team work is required to accomplish certain goals. War is the best example where you are risking your life for team. How can this kind of trust and bond within team be built?
