Close
Nolan committee regarded it as an ability to lead by example, required because :-
(I) Huge public dealing → requires persuasion, social influence. (eg) Prashant Nair in "compassionate Kozhi-kode"
(II) Organisation is complicated → multitude of subordinates, seniors, peers. (eg) Election duty etc. require decision making.
(III) Stability in times of crisis → (eg) Disaster management.
(IV) Tough decisions → (eg) Gandhi during Chauri Chaura.
Hence, this aptitude is required.
