1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:07,000 Leadership is a talent. It can also be acquired. 2 00:00:07,084 --> 00:00:11,600 But it is not harshness. As I told you, these are signs. 3 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:20,900 Love and respect make everyone do right when they are loved and respected. 4 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,460 The next level is motivation: giving. 5 00:00:27,020 --> 00:00:32,400 If motivation alone does not work, then motivation plus reward. 6 00:00:32,484 --> 00:00:35,780 Cautery is the last resort. It must be used. 7 00:00:35,864 --> 00:00:42,080 And that is why Allah ﷻ prescribed hudud and punishments in His law. 8 00:00:44,020 --> 00:00:47,760 Mu'awiyah's hair is a basic principle in management. 9 00:00:48,860 --> 00:00:49,920 Mu'awiyah's hair. 10 00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:56,840 "If they tighten, I loosen, and if they loosen, I tighten." 11 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,760 One who cannot be firm and kind is unfit. 12 00:01:03,844 --> 00:01:14,480 A leader must be respected, respectful, loving, and loved. 13 00:01:14,564 --> 00:01:22,100 That's how much he'll succeed in relationships and in managing programs. 14 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,730 People vary, and managers differ in this. 15 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,360 One may succeed 90%, another 80%, and another 70%. 16 00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:36,860 The messengers, peace be upon them, are not all of the same rank. 17 00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:39,760 "Those messengers—We favored some of them over others." 18 00:01:39,844 --> 00:01:43,220 Some of them Allah ﷻ spoke to, and He raised some in rank. 19 00:01:44,420 --> 00:01:54,220 At the very least, there must be no ill feeling with colleagues. 20 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,460 This must be so, because it is a Shariah principle. 21 00:01:58,940 --> 00:02:02,560 Success only comes to the extent decreed for him. 22 00:02:02,644 --> 00:02:10,039 But with people, relationships don't work like that. 23 00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:15,020 It's not something where you either succeed or fail. 24 00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:18,560 You are either right or wrong, depending on your talents.
