Being a Leader
Being A Leader
Leadership can be defined as an act of leading. Though it's difficult to define leadership because it means different meanings to different people. The overall definition of leadership can be defined as, it is a process of influence which maximises the efforts of others which automatically improves and increases the output towards the achievement of goal.
Don't think of leadership as a position. Think of it more as a role and a duty. A leader is supposed to understand his/her teammates and then bring out the best in them. Once someone becomes a leader, he/she has to think of others as a family. You share your failures together and then enjoy your success together too.
A leader is supposed to have good management skills so that he can manage his/her teammates. Someone doesn't become a leader by himself. A leader is never self-made. A leader is always chosen. Being a good leader means being open to new ideas, possibilities, perspectives and understanding that there's no "right" way to do things. Everyone is different in this world and that's why everyone has a different mindset. Leaders must listen, observe, think and then always should be ready to change the course for achieving the goal whenever necessary.
