Last Tuesday, on the birthday of Sardar Patel, I spent time reading and reflecting on this statesman. There can be no disagreement that Sardar Patel played a pivotal role along with Gandhi and Nehru in securing Independence. The distinct traits of his character were followership, leadership and stubbornness. Reading about his life and work gives us two very valuable lessons- that of followership and leadership. Yet, the powerful and poignant life of Sardar Patel gives us great insights into the steadfast followership along with liberated leadership that can realise great goals.
