Which qualities does person need to be a leader?
What is leadership? A simple definition is that leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal. In a business setting, this can mean directing workers and colleagues with a strategy to meet the company’s needs.
This leadership definition captures the essentials of being able to inspire others and being prepared to do so. Effective leadership is based upon ideas (whether original or borrowed), but won’t happen unless those ideas can be communicated to others in a way that engages them enough to act as the leader wants them to act.
Put even more simply, the leader is the inspiration and director of the action. He or she is the person in the group that possesses the combination of personality and leadership skills that makes others want to follow his or her direction. (Ward, 2019)
Qualities
- Sincere enthusiasm: – Successful leaders do what they love to do. Genuine energy for a business, its items, and its central goal can’t be faked. Workers can perceive contemptible cheerleading from a mile away. Nonetheless, when leaders are genuinely eager and energetic, that is infectious.
- Good Communicator: – It is important for leaders to communicate clearly what the plans and strategies are to the leaders, so that they work exactly what the organization want. In simple word if leader is not able to communicate clears then he is not able to do his job effectively. Words have power to motivate people and make them do the unthinkable things.
- Commitment and passion: – If you want your team to work properly and with plan then leader have to give their all to them. Leaders have to be passionate about it too. It will help to experience new things and also learn new ideas and strategies from the employees. For example- if the manager is not fully involved in the thing and is not fully passionate them it is obvious that the team will lack in their work and the passion too.
- Inspire others: – “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” (hasan, 2017). Most difficult thing is to make other follow. It is possible only if you set a good example and make space in their hearts. It doesn’t mean that you just need to make idea, leader also have to follow them to make others follow by making them you actions visible.
The most influential leader of my life is CAPTAIN AMERICA
The fictional character Captain America, a superhero and leader of the Avengers, a team of superheroes, may be a perfect exemplification of many of the fundamental leadership traits that are critical in today’s business environment.
Qualities that captain America have
- Be willing to both lead and follow: – Captain America has an ego but will adopt a position of humility to advance the mission. He leverages the strengths of everyone on his team to accomplish the goal, allowing others to lead when their talents are stronger. He leads from the front, never asking anyone on his team to do something he wouldn’t do himself.
- Let every team member shine: – As leader of the Avengers, Captain America is surrounded by the world’s most powerful superheroes. He understands their strengths and leverages them to best accomplish the mission. He lets each team member have a chance in the spotlight and willingly embraces team members’ ideas. Every superhero on the team has a unique skill that he can’t match, and that’s OK.
- Be a risk taker not a reckless: – The job of a superhero, as well as a leader, is inherently risky. The Avengers understand the risks and trust Captain America not to put them in harm’s way unnecessarily. This inspires loyalty among his team. While your circumstances are not nearly as perilous, you may need to take risks to achieve your mission.
