Leadership

JUNE 22, 2013

Hi everyone!

Today, I'd like to talk about Leadership. I've noticed a few things around me that relates to this topic and I wanted to address it.

I've noticed recently that not everyone is capable of being a leader. Sure, they might have the title, but in truth, they are not completely able to fulfill the role. Being able to make sound decisions is only one of the responsibilities of a leader.

Follower Relationship
A good leader must know how to create relationship with their followers. They must be approachable and open to their followers. Being feared is not a good quality of a leader. Team building is important and it starts with the leader.

Humility
A good leader must know how to be humble. There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. There is also a fine line between educating and simply showing off the knowledge bestowed upon them.

Good Example
If a leader acts unprofessional, their followers would think it is alright to act similarly. A good leader must maintain their cool at all times. In the instance that they lose their cool, they must be able to apologize and own up to their outburst.

What do you think? In your opinion, what makes a good leader?
