We all see leaders and admire them and aspire to be like them. But, if we shift our focus to what qualities they have developed to become what they are now, it would be easy for us to become like them. So, let us analyze the qualities of a better leader.
- The one fact that has always differentiated the leaders from the rest of the people is their initiative. Their initiative, which either others laughed at or thought to be impossible and their initiative in experimenting with the new ways. These are the very things that make a leader and lack of these things makes one a follower.
- A leader does not stop with accumulating knowledge. He is the one who implements it and gains from it.
- A leader is competent enough to get things done from others, not by using force but by motivating them and encouraging them and making sure that they also progress along the way.
- Leaders set goals and lead life with a purpose, which motivates them to keep moving ahead in life on a progressive path.
- Leaders take decision without much delay as they stick to it and start working on it with perfect plan and alternatives.
- A Leader speaks more with his deeds than with his words.
- Leaders always strives for the uplifting others and their progress. They come out of this “I” circle and Embrace “We”.
- Leaders are always careful about what they speak and how they behave and interact.
- Leaders are the ones who overcome temptations and are focused on achieving what is beneficial and good in a long term.
- Leaders are a true source of inspiration and they lead their life in an exemplary way.
So, those who aspire to mould themselves as leaders should focus on these aspects and work towards them.
