Leadership Rule No. 4: Take some time to talk with yourself, harness your power of higher thought. General leading means very busy people. And so it is. Leaders should stand in the middle of the battle.

But one thing is usually overlooked, these leaders spend quite a bit of time alone, when their only companion is their thoughts. Look at the biographies of the great men of different religions, you will see that each of them lived alone for some time.

The founder of Islam, the greatest human being of all time, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) used to meditate alone in the cave of Mount Hera and called the world mankind to the path of goodness with the closeness of the Creator. In the same way that Moses spent most of his time alone, so did the Lord Jesus. Buddha, Confucius and all of history's greatest leaders spent a lot of time alone away from the hustle and bustle of life. Example of Gandhiji.

Famous people of the Indian subcontinent - Shere Bangla A. K. A. Fazlul Haque, Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani, Netaji Subhas Bose, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the last came the great hero of the independence of Bangladesh, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the best Bengali of the thousand years.

Those political leaders, for whatever reason, good or bad, have left a clear impression on the pages of history, they found depth of thought in solitude, such as Bangabandhu's prison life was a great solitude, similarly Frilon, D. It is doubtful that Roosevelt would have developed his extraordinary leadership skills at all if he had not been alone during his recovery from polio. The rebellious poet Kazi Nazrul was imprisoned by the British government for writing Islam and poetry – hence his identity as a great rebel. Harry Truman spent much of his childhood and adulthood alone on a farm in Missouri.

If Hitler had not spent several months in prison, he might not have become so powerful. It was while in this prison that he had the opportunity to write his masterpiece 'My Kendra', which referred to the stratagems of world conquest of which the Germans had become blind admirers.

Some of the most skilled leaders of Communism like Lenin, Stalin, Marx and many others spent some time in jail where they were able to plan their future unhindered. Some of the best university professors are asked to lecture for only five hours a week. So that they get a chance to think.

Many extraordinary business executives are surrounded all day by assistants, secretaries, phones and reports. But if you follow them for 168 hours a week, 720 hours a month, you will see that they spend quite a bit of time thinking uninterruptedly.
