What makes a good leader?of
Leaders are the ones who help us to reach success as they are experts in themselves in the field. A leader is someone who has already gone through the phase of disappointment and disillusionment and after ups and downs, he is someone who has experienced everything and so will be able to help in an organized way.
Now here are the five reasons why you need a leader.
Your leader or your mentor will guide you in the best possible way –
For the success of any mission, it is necessary to have creative leadership. Creative leadership is vital for government, non-governmental organizations as well as industries.
– A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
You have to know that your leader is the most experienced person in the field. The taste of success after consecutive losses tastes best. Your leader will help you to know the exact way to be successful. Everyone is not a born leader, some have to go through the process of extreme internalized training to know exactly the fruits of the experience. In these situations, leaders help us a lot.
To prioritize life –
Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance. – J. Donald Walters
A beginner is often in a state of difficulty to prioritize life. Prioritizing life is an art and not everyone is well accustomed to it. Understanding and working towards priority is very important. A leader always guides us for the best. Prioritizing helps to balance life for the best. A leader is in that place as you know exactly what to do and how to deal with when unwanted imbalances pop up.
leaders can convince and Influence
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it. – Andrew Carnegie
The best leaders influence others. John C. Maxwell, renowned leadership author and speaker, once stated simply ‘leadership is influence’.
While some people may be able to influence others naturally, there are many ways of developing your influencing skills. For example, improving your communication style can improve your ability to build relationships and influence others. It depends on how a leader looks into the situation.
Communication learning –
The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes. – Tony Blair
We all can communicate but why is a leader’s communication different? The leader speaks with certainty and conviction. The majority of great leaders are also great communicators. Although communication skills are often developed in the early years of our lives, the ability to communicate effectively is something that we can all develop over time.
From Mission to Vision –
A leader should be visionary and have more foresight than an employee. – Jack Ma
Top-tier leaders have a clear vision of their goals and where they want their company or project to go. This vision comes from a mission. When communicated effectively, this vision should inspire others to realize it. Vision can be learned and developed. Many leadership courses offer practical exercises to help leaders work on establishing a vision and effectively conveying those vision to others.
So what is the real important question here: are the leaders born or made?
Genealogy
Hereditary
Schooling
Family and friends
These are important criteria by which a leader is born. People have their inspiration from other people. These highly affect the person’s upbringing and hence prove to be a great leader in the coming days.
But also great leaders are made through effective training
Good Leadership Training
Great leaders are necessary for any organization that wants to grow its business and achieve its goals. And every company can have great leaders without needing to go out and hire new senior-level employees.
Many people think there’s a difference between a born leader and a made leader. Some people may have natural leadership qualities. However, even the most seasoned leaders learned skills along the way and still have areas of improvement. Recent studies also suggest that leaders are not born.
If leaders can be developed and improve their leadership capabilities, you can start identifying and training leaders today.
The Capacity to Adapt
A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.
Thus these formulate the concept of leadership. It highly depends on the experiences of life which have helped him or her become a prospective great leader over time.
So who is your inspiration for leadership? Comment Below.
