Being a leader in today's society is considered the highest compliment. Leadership is often equated with power. It commands respect and most of all fosters achievement. Leadership qualities, however, have to be carefully cultivated.
Leaders are not born.
1. Always give credit. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique and an act of generosity that's never forgotten. When you tell people about what someone did right, you earn that person's loyalty.
2. Take informed risks. Taking risk is not a thoughtless exercise. The idea of risk carries with the possibility of failure. One who wants to be a leader must learn to fail. Pick yourself up and start all over again.
3.Show the way. Be a role model. An advice goes like this "If you're giving, people want to give right back. If you're surefooted they want to follow in your footsteps." The best way you can do is get followers to mirror your actions by being what you wish them to be.
4. Keep the faith. Successful leaders say that if you trust others to do well, they will. It is suggested you express your faith in a letter. Having faith in someone gives him self-confidence and pleasure.
5. Get a compass. People don't follow leaders who lack direction. The successful leader has a clear picture of what he wants to achieve in his mind and keeps if focused there.
6. Act the part. Good leaders have learned to sound and look like winners. They act as if they know where they're going and they dress and act the part. Their appearance and manners show it, their speech is polished and their behavior unruffled and assured.
7. Foster enthusiasm. "When people understand the importance of work, the lend their mental strengths. When they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. This becomes a massive force. How to generate excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself - it's contagious."
8. Delegate. One can't do anything by one's self. Involving others and making them work is leadership.
Be a leader.
