Leaders in Making!

Recently I bumped into the birthday party of a small kid. It was because my niece that I had to be there and I thought, well its all children, so lets go!

Amazingly it was a feast for a me! All children loaded with excitement and surprises. These kids were of 8 to 12 yrs of age, some 10 of them in number. What stunned me was their complete sense of planning and organization. When we went there, me and my niece, kids had just returned from their respective schools. All they knew was that they are gonna have a birthday party that evening. With the birthday girl inviting all her friends early that day and the day before, she had planned nothing for the event.

It all started with a initiative by some two smart girls, one been my niece, and the plan was drawn. They had to party for just 2 hours. So keeping the time constraint in mind they derived an idea to have a dance and drama performances by all kids in front of the parents and guests. I was witnessing the saga, with what pace and coordination the plan was been executed. They had amazing sense of responsibility and a desire to perform in front of all present there. They first selected the location- the terrace. Then they divided themselves in two groups- one for drama other for drama. A compere was selected who had great sense of humor and presence of mind. They wrote the script of the drama, rehearsed the dialogues and got the costume and stage arrangements handy. The other group selected the song, choreographed it and also made a participant to sing it for the show as there was no sound and music arrangements.

The show was ready. The kids had worked smart, they called the parents, I was with the kids witnessing the zeal. They had made the seating arrangements. Wow! It was a evening that the parents and guests will remember long. The kids delivered the performances with triumph! There was a loud applause from the parents. We wished the birthday girl long life and cut the cake. Kids were satisfied with the evening. 

I saw a link of efficient organization in them, qualities those people need to learn when they grow adult. These came innately with the kids. The time management, team work, leadership, execution, win win agenda, and satisfaction at the last. May god nurture these kids to become next generation leaders.
