The art of being a leader
Many vacancy announcements containthe requirement of "leadership qualities" from the competitor. What kind of qualities are these, to whom and why are they needed? First, let's figure out who this "leader" is.
Leader is a person who can influence behaviorother people, take responsibility, consistently go to achieve specific goals and lead the team. And the team, in turn, recognizes the right to make decisions in especially important situations. Archives, textbooks, investigations of biographers tell us about the leaders of different times who led the people, created history, changed the way of life of whole states.
In general, the leader is a fairly broad concept. It can be interpreted in terms of politics, psychology, philosophy, the views of famous people, wise books or modern journals. A leader is not necessarily a person with outstanding natural abilities, the highest IQ score. This is, first and foremost, a person who has intuition, insight and sociability.
There is an opinion that leaders are not born, but become. Although this requires some makings, but, inin general, you can agree. To become a leader, you need to educate yourself accordingly, to learn to set goals and priorities for yourself. Leadership begins with the ability to control oneself, and, above all, your thoughts and emotions. After all, as we all know, our whole life depends on our thoughts and emotions.
Before we manage and lead other people, we must first learn to control the person we see in the mirror every day. People who have achieved leadership are not real,because they are first of all feeling insecure, they want to show how important they are in this world, and therefore they try to subordinate and manage other people only in order to raise their own self-esteem.
True leaders become leaders by choiceother people. They do not strive for leadership, just other people feel a strong personality who is able to take care of them, and are attracted to them. The society needs individuals who are focused on the result, reaching it quickly and profitable for the cause and leading the whole team to it. Ability to leadership is most in demand where there is high competition, where you need to make quick decisions, take the initiative, introduce something completely new and unusual.
Without the ability to light people do not become a good seller, not a manager, not even a boss. And yet you want to dominate othersnot all. You can be a bright individuality, but there is no ringleader. Many people are creative enough to work and grow professionally. A true leader must necessarily be an optimist. A man with an eternally sour expression is unlikely to be pulled by others. And he must also love people. Well, how can you manage those whom you do not love well?
If you want people to follow you, take care of them, show interest, look into problems, learn to listen and be tolerant of their weaknesses. Be a professional in your business - it's veryimportant. It is unlikely that an incompetent person can become a leader. And again: in order to lead others, you must have a broad outlook, be bold and determined, do not be afraid of difficulties, and they will in any case. Show confidence with all your looks, believe yourself. When talking, keep your head straight, look into the eyes of your interlocutor. Clearly state your thoughts and, if possible, do not use words that give your speech shades of uncertainty and extra softness: "like", "like", "probably", "I think so", use the words "I believe" and "I'm sure." Everything in your conversation should be extremely clear, concise and understandable.
