Today we follow, tomorrow we lead.

  • The leader is the one who will pay close attention to weather the workers are happy? 
  • He will encourage independent and creative thinking.
By doing like this workers will have a strong motivation to realize the vision and Workers will like as well as respect the leader.
TRAITS THAT A GOOD LEADER MUST POSSESS. 
  1. Integrity is essential. Leaders are people of great integrity. Integrity, or the adherence to moral and ethical principles, is greatly lacking in the world today. Stories of corruption and dishonesty pervade the government, the workplace, the community, and even the home. A great leader keeps his word, makes good choices, and follows established rules. If you possess integrity, you will do what you say you’re going to do. 
  2. Mining gold in others. Leaders bring out the best in others and encourage independence. They don’t control and dominate to subjugate. Great bosses reward hard work with sincere praise, raises, proper credit, and promotion. Insecure bosses are vainglorious, let their employees do the work while twiddle their thumbs, and then take all the credit for work they didn't do. Great leaders see the potential in others and cultivate it. Poor leaders hone in on deficiencies and hamper development through discouragement. 
  3. Clocked with humility. We often equate the term, leader, with a person who holds a position; however, leaders are found in every facet of society, from the top of the corporate ladder to the bottom of the well-known food chain. Strong leaders begin as humble followers. They are the type of people who are always ready to take initiative. They are bubbling over with ideas, strategies, and game plans to make the situation they are in better. Starting at the bottom and working your way to the top is the best prescription for your success. You will be familiar with every aspect of your position from top to bottom and inside out. You will know what works and what doesn't. You will learn what frustrates and what motivates the people around you and you won’t forget what you've learned when you reach the top. The top can wait until you have the maturity and experience to take the reins.
  4. Facing conflict. A great leader doesn't shy away from conflict but deals with it directly in a kind, firm, and fair approach. Conflict makes people uncomfortable. In fact, many people refuse to make eye contact with conflict, hoping it will go away on its own. 
  5. Leaders are flexible. While great leaders have a healthy self-image, they are confident without being prideful. They aren't afraid to pitch in wherever they are needed to get the job done. Store managers cover the service desk when the business is short-staffed. Great leaders don’t require the spotlight. They are versatile individuals who will serve where they are needed and then share the cup of sweet success with those around them. Great leaders aren't arrogant and boastful. They don’t flaunt success. They have learned humility through working on every rung of the ladder.
  6. Sense of humor. Not all great leaders possess a sense of humor, but for those who do, it lends significantly to their charismatic persona. They have something like a positive energy which emanates from inside and resonate in their organization even under difficult situations. A leader  that can laugh with their employees will endear themselves to the employees. It shows the employees that the leader is just a human being like they are. Laughter helps promote a relaxed atmosphere where everybody is comfortable with their surroundings.
