If you are convinced that we all are actors and the life is a drama after reading my previous post Be an 'Actor' of 'Emotions', here is the sequel to it…
If we observe the role & emotional clarity
of the star actors, we find several life secrets to learn. Though the star
actors act in different roles in different situations & scenes in different
movies, they never bring the interference among the roles or emotions.
Suppose a star actor has to act in a comedy scene in a movie1 shoot, then in a
romantic scene in a movie2 shoot, from there he goes to a movie3 shoot in which
he has to play the character of a son whose mother has died- a very sad scene,
in movie4 shoot he has to play a college going student role, in movie5 he has
to play a role of a thief presented in the court of law – court scene. By the
evening or night, he has to go home & play his real roles as a husband,
son, father etc. But it is so wonderful that he never carries an emotion of one
particular scene to the another. So, there won’t be any interference of the
previous scene on the present scene. Otherwise, the performance gets affected. This
is what we should learn from the star actors. High level of Emotional Intelligence
can be achieved with the realization that we are all actors and the world is a
stage.
The other important aspect here is- the star
actors never interfere with the roles of the junior artistes. They may become
the mentors for the junior actors. But they never spoon-feed the juniors. Always
they encourage the uniqueness of each & every actor. The Role Clarity is
the important aspect we should learn from this. Most of the star actors focus
on their roles and continually improving themselves. They normally give
suggestions to the junior actors as mentors only without ego. We have already
seen how lack of ego helps in building the relations The Relations are Precious - Happy Father’s Day.
We have never seen a movie/drama in which
all the roles are played by a single actor except in monologue. The movie/drama
becomes a success when all the actors do their best. The unity in diversity is
the key there. It applies to the cross-functional team management also. The
director is the person who understands the script requirements and chooses the
actors as per their unique capabilities & skills and ensures that those
skills are blended well into the effective story telling. It is the same in
case of a Team Manager. The real big Writer & Director is the GOD. All the
others are like assistant directors for a particular scene or episode. Star
actors politely present their views or suggestions to make some corrections in
the script. But they never blame the director. Most of the times they don’t interfere
in those areas. They always focus on their roles and try to continually improve
their performance.
Again, all these learnings are applicable to
all of us to perform better in our roles such as husband, father, son, mother, mother-in-law,
daughter-in-law, teacher-student, boss-subordinate, peers & in any
relationship.
Having the role clarity & emotional intelligence
without interference is the key for becoming a Star Actor.
