Leadership is not defined by degrees , status, or the number of followers you have online. Not the size of your bank account, your skin color, or the job you hold. Leadership is the willingness to carry responsibility for others, and at times at immense personal cost. Leadership is deliberately putting yourself in harms way, so that 140 school children can grow to become leaders themselves someday. Leadership...]]></description><link>https://www.sunnahleadership.com/post/leadership-after-tragedy</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0f0325a2438924d109aef8</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 13:35:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/00aa79_db052d7b8e8a4854b3b302ab88554bf4~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_810,h_873,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Admin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Importance of Independent Thinking]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mu’adh ibn Jabal was forced to use his experience, faculty, and independent reasoning (ijtihad) in Yemen when explicit texts and rulings were absent; a trait of Mu'adh that the Prophet (ﷺ) praised. In today's context, we would call this Adaptive Leadership; a skill which involves allows you to tackle problems that lack easy, technical answers. As an effective leader, you must move beyond the mindset of being right and embrace a learning mindset focused on what is possible. You must learn to...]]></description><link>https://www.sunnahleadership.com/post/the-importance-of-independent-thinking</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a052d152fe6e98eed48aa36</guid><pubDate>Thu, 14 May 2026 02:08:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/00aa79_5e4c77fae6e4457d88cd6e1a6d28d04d~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Admin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership in Organization Justice and Trust]]></title><description><![CDATA[A golden balance scale symbolizes justice and fairness, set against a neutral background. On the topic of organizational justice, the hadith comes to mind "Beware of the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah". Distributive Justice requires leaders to share rewards and burdens fairly based on moral values. Trust is built over time through consistent, fair treatment and is easily shattered by the perception of favoritism or "in-group" biases. When leaders...]]></description><link>https://www.sunnahleadership.com/post/leadership-in-organization-justice-and-trust</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f82854b27e981e27c32b06</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 05:05:52 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/00aa79_65d7e2437f3c4aab969a5a85e19637ad~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Admin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Stewardship of Leaders]]></title><description><![CDATA[Upon embarking to Yemen, the Prophet (ﷺ) warned Mu’adh to "beware of luxury" and to prioritize the needs of the poor. This instruction is embodied in the concept of 'Servant Leadership', which begins with the basic premise that one wants to serve others first, placing the needs of followers above self-interest. Wealth and status can detach a leader from the "Why" of their mission, leading to the "Success Syndrome" where internal politics outweigh external service. As he (ﷺ) said to us, "I am...]]></description><link>https://www.sunnahleadership.com/post/tue-stewardship-of-leaders</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e4734ccee1d9a6a675eaa2</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Apr 2026 06:32:43 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/00aa79_0d003f0ee29449788dfb4ec4e81eb980~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Admin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Making Things Easy]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the Hadith of Anas ibn Malik we learn the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Make things easy and do not make things difficult; give glad tidings and do not repel people". The emphasis here is on moderation and accessibility; in faith and daily conduct. As leaders we should prioritize ease over unnecessary hardship to prevent burning ourselves and others out. By focusing on positive reinforcement and encouragement, we can foster a welcoming environment that attracts people toward growth rather than...]]></description><link>https://www.sunnahleadership.com/post/making-things-easy</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69dceacc2d1e950d3709d465</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2026 13:16:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/00aa79_890fca8919df4eff8a40945cbb3b924d~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Admin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wisdom of the Sequence]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Prophet (ﷺ) instructed Mu’adh ibn Jabal to teach the testimony of faith first, then prayer, and finally charity when dispatching him to Yemen. John Kotter emphasizes that skipping stages in a transformation only creates the illusion of speed. Sustainable change requires a logical progression where intellectual buy-in precedes behavioral habits. Leaders who rush to the "What" before establishing the "Why" often see their initiatives collapse. True transformation is a process, not an event,...]]></description><link>https://www.sunnahleadership.com/post/the-wisdom-of-the-sequence</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69da5a6da437370fa4907f0c</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 Apr 2026 14:29:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/00aa79_a31cce195f67484a955067e1caefb591~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Admin</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
