Are you a dominant or want to be? Then you are at correct time. Everyone in this world tries to dominate over other people. Have you heard of Hitler? He was the cruel person who dominated on Germans. He was as much cruel that he killed number of people at same time in a room which was filled with poisonous gas. But we don’t have to be a dominant. We are supposed to be a leader instead of dominant.
Everyone wants to be a leader even I want too. Leader is a person who guides other members to get the work done. He is the one who is enthusiastic, intelligent, powerful and co-operative. That is what it is.
Here you will learn the must need attributes that need to be in a leader. I will tell you the 13 major attributes of leadership that will help you to become a leader. Let’s get started!
1. The Unwavering Courage.
To become a leader, you must be courageous. You must have unwavering courage. You must have courage to attemp each and every challenging task without any fear of failing.
Every leader have enormous amount of courage within himself. They are always ready to attempt brainstorming tasks. They never fear of failing. They may have to face any physically or mentally tough challenges anytime. So, if you want to be a leader then you should have unwavering courage to face any type of challenges anytime, anywhere and against anybody.
Always be ready to face challenges.
2. Self-control.
The another point is that a leader must have control of himself. One who don’t have control on himself, then he cannot control any other.
Self-control is the main thing. While in heated debate, if you lose the control on yourself, you would might spoil everything and as a result, the decisions that would be taken will be wrong. Therefore, self-control is very important.
If you have self-control, then you will inspire your juniors to develop self-control in themselves. You will set an example by doing this. Set an example now.
3. A Keen Sense of Justice.
While guiding others, you must take care that there should not be done anything wrong. You must take care that you must not discriminate between any two members. If one has done anything wrong, he must be punished without any discrimination. You must not favour him.
You must develop a keen sense of justice in yourself. For it you can grab some information about the criminal cases in which innocent is proven not guilty. By doing this, you can learn that justice should be impartial.
The Leader should have a keen sense of Justice. The Leader should be impartial. He must discriminate between two. If one is his favorite but did mischief, he should be punished.
A ‘Keen’ Sense means that everything should be cross checked twice. Every decision should be as correct as 2+2=4. For example, if every proof is pointing accused guilty, but leader has trust that he cannot do such thing, then it may be possible that accused is not guilty. Thus, everything should be checked carefully before giving the verdict.
4. Definiteness of Decisions.
As I said in above point that in anxiety, you might lose the control on yourself and take wrong decisions which will may affect your objectives.
The strong leader never change the decisions anyhow which are already taken and a week leader will change the decisions continuously after it is taken.
The cause behind this is mindset. If a leader doesn’t understand the problem first, then he cannot take decisions. Therefore, understand the problem first and then take firm decisions.
Always stand by your decision, never change it. Yes, if the decision taken can affect others, then you must change it. But here the first thing is the understanding of the problem.
5. Definiteness of Plans.
It is as same as the last attribute. You must decide the plan which is favourable to everyone. And yes, always stand by the plan. That’s it!
6. A Habit of doing more than Paid for.
Always be ready to do more and more. Lazy leader cannot guide his people. Laziness should be beaten by the leader.
The successful leader always wants to make an image of himself in his followers. For it, he always tries to do more than he paid for.
Therefore, develop a habit of doing more than paid for. Beat the laziness.
7. A Pleasing Personality.
A successful leader must be a pleasing personality. If the leaders don’t respect their followers, then the return will be the same.
Thus, if you want be a leader, start respecting others. You may heard that good listeners are good doers. Listen to your followers.
8. Sympathy and Understanding.
The successful leader must be sympathetic to his followers. He must understand his followers problems.
The successful leader must be kind to his people instead of cruel. That is why the dictatorship always fell down. No leader can be successful if he dominates over his people.
9. Mastery of Detail.
Before making any decisions, the leader must master the detail upon which the decision is going to be made.
The mastery of detail is most important in leadership. Leaders have to guide the people and he can only do so if he master the detail.
10. Willingness to take every responsibility.
As I said, the leader must be always ready to take any challenges without the fear of failing. Similarly, he must be ready to take any responsibility.
If he doesn’t, it means that he is a coward guy.
11. Cooperation.
The successful leader always cooperate with their followers. Cooperation between followers and leader must be there. It makes the bond stronger and builds trust between leader and followers.
Thus, cooperation is the main thing here, in leadership.
12. Leaders are Readers.
Leaders are Readers. The successful leader has a habit of reading. It is so because reading increases knowledge and keeps the reader updated.
Leaders always want to be more informative than their people.
Thus, they always keep a habit of reading.
13. Arrogant leader cannot hold his position.
Arrogance always kill. The arrogant leader always fails. He cannot hold his position and so, his goals won’t be accomplished.
Conclusion:
At last, I conclude that leadership is not an easy task. You must prepare yourself that no one can break you. If you’re not strong enough, then your team will also be like you. Be strong, have mental toughness and keep doing your work as it will set an example for your followers. Thank you so much for reading! Keep inspiring and motivating!
