“A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.” ~ Jim Rohn
Are You A Born Leader ?
People are not born with any particular skill. We are a blank canvas and everything else is learned. So, you have to become a leader.
Leaders are made… not born. Leadership skills are acquired over a period of time based on several factors.
Here are several factors that characterize a leader…
1. Leaders come in all different shapes and sizes.
It is interesting to study effective leaders. At first glance all leaders are different. They all have developed their own style over their careers based on their own personality and what works for them.
2. A true leader accepts responsibility.
Everything from how they speak to how they act is part of being responsible. It is easy to follow them because you know where they are going and know they will lead you as well.
3. Leaders work at being leaders.
They are always improving their skills and learning from the situations they are in. They study people and have learned how to effectively interact with them to get what they want. They understand the importance of continuous learning every day to be the best they can be.
4. Leadership starts at the top…
but the effective leader knows that to achieve success, he or she must develop a team environment. Leaders know they can be most effective when people are working together for one common goal. Sharing in leadership is part of this process.
A good leader will create other leaders on their team.They will make everyone accountable for what they do, but they will determine success on the overall efforts of everyone.
5. Situations call for different types of leadership.
A capable leader with good skills is able to adapt to their surroundings and lead accordingly. Their are many scenarios where sometimes you need to give someone a kick in the rear and other times they need a pat on the back.
6. Leaders are respected for what they have accomplished in the past.
A real leader can speak from a position of practical experience and know they will be listened to because they have achieved success as a leader. A leader who has the respect of their team is able to command and demand more from his team of people than a leader who is not as respected.
7. Leaders seek opinions and gather ideas before forming an action plan.
Good leaders know that they cannot come up with every idea that will work. By allowing input from their team they are able to make a more responsible decision, while setting the stage for the development of future leaders.
Leaders have skills and they use them to accomplish their goals every single day. You can become a good leader if you are willing to work hard and to learn the skills that are needed and refine those skills.
To your success,
