Tzivia Lubetkin a Female Synchronous Leader (1914-1978)

Tzivia became the leader of the "Dror", an organization she founded in December 1939. At the beginning of World War II she moved to Bialystok, which was occupied by the Red Army. She volunteered to go into German occupied Poland and was active in public life in the Warsaw ghetto as a leader in the youth movement. Synchronous leadership, according to Nir Golan, educational and leadership expert, is coincidence in time; contemporaneousness; simultaneousness. Synchronous leader does the connection of leadership in conjunction to events, as in history. The Synchronous Leaders will be very much empowered by the world and should take an active part in the global development team – from decision making to execution, having a broad understanding of overall considerations.

Tzivia acted as part of the leadership of the Jewish Fighting Organization (EYAL), together with Yitzhak Zuckerman, Mordechi Anielewicz and Marek Edelman, who fought against the Nazis during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

She Created a Vision as Problem solving: analyzing and perfectionism and Creativity: thinking out of the box. The vision that the Synchronous Leader should create is a result of the output of problem solving and innovation. This proactive vision is a combination of both problem solving and innovation. She was the only female leader during the Uprising.

Tzivia as a Team Leader: Collaboration: the ability to work as a part of a team, required to have a broad view of the program, have holistic consideration and collaborate with others in order to achieve this goal.
Communication: message transfer and transformation.
The Synchronous Leader should work in a team; locally and globally. She was a master in collaboration using all her communication skills.
Evidence of the uprising:

•       "During the uprising Lubetkin goes from one bunker to another, risking her life at every moment. When the situation worsens, and the Germans set fire to the houses of the ghetto, Lubetkin and  the fighters who gather at the headquarters bunker on 18 Mila Street, they all realize that the battle is about to end. Anilevich consults with Lubetkin, and sends her to a bunker nearby to ask the owner to allow the fighters to go through his bunker into the sewers and then out of the ghetto." 

•       The next day, when Lubetkin come back to the bunker at 18 Mila Street, she does not find the entrance," Gutterman recalls, " The bunker was bombed and destroyed by the Germans at night." She locates some friends who were injured, she regroups and takes command of a group numbering about forty fighters and civilians, and together they set off into the sewers and out of the ghetto to the Aryan side. There 18 year old Kaz'ik awaited them. (These days, Kaz'ik lives in Jerusalem and is named Simcha Rotem.) He was one of the connections that Antek Zuckerman had. " 

•       "At the end of that day, when they reached the other side, when Kaz'ik opened and took the people in their dirty clothes to the waiting truck, Lubetkin refused to go until the return of two young men whom she sent to try and find other people in the ghetto." 

•       "She pulls out a gun in front of Kaz'ik's face, who is begging her to get in the truck. " Shoot me," he says to her. Eventually she is convinced and enters the truck which takes them to the woods on the outskirts of Warsaw. Two days later she makes contact with Zuckerman who is in a terrible state of mind after learning that all of his friends were killed in the uprising."

In 1944 she took part in the Polish Warsaw Uprising against the Nazi occupation. She had a Global Awareness: the sum of the different global streams that are ongoing at every moment. It's the sum of all the ongoing events. The power of the streams is monitored by the Media which controls the width and the flow of the streams along with their power. The media controls them and therefore the Synchronous Leader should use it in a wise way while planning a program.

Assessment and Critical thinking: evaluation skills.
Synchronous Leader should dare and be brave. Synchronous Leader involves making decisions using critical thinking, with wisdom and a clear mind. Tzivia was not afraid to use her critical abilities to lead forward even if it was against all other opinions. She was confident of the decisions that she made. Her eyes were wide open to analyze the situation in a critically sharp way. In 1946 Tzivia came to Israel. A few months later, she went back to Europe, where she was active in the "Escape" movement.  Lubetkin married Yitzhak Zuckerman, also a leader of EYAL.

She was one of the founders of the “Ghetto Fighters” Kibbutz and the “Ghetto Fighters” house.

Her granddaughter Ronnie became the first female pilot in the IDF. Ronnie's father - the son of Lubetkin, Shimon Zuckerman says: "Is it genetics? Look, my mother was not a pilot. She didn't even have a driving license, but it did not stop her from achieving what she achieved." Tzivia had her own holocaust and resurrection situation which she found herself in, therefore she had her act the way she acted and only years later she has been defined and recognized as women heroines of holocaust and resurrection.
