Five Qualities of a good leader

Hey Everyone as the 1st post on my blog I thought of sharing some tips on how to be a good Leader. Hope this will help you to become a good leader.

1. A Leader Must Set An Example -
If you want your members to follow and listen to you, show it! Go the extra mile if you have to. Take care of each of your member. Make them feel that they are important.

You can not keep on talking forever you should show the results.Your members will not follow you blindly Another area where results must be shown is all the meetings and strategy discussions. You can have a thousand strategy meetings but if there are no results – useless.Always work with the members and be with them.

2.A Leader Must Be Humble -
Be Humble. Not because you are leader, you can do whatever you want and demand from your members anything that you want. Humility can bring you, your members, and your organization to successes that no one of you ever imagined.Humbleness keeps the followers impressed and motivates to help you.

3.Followers Are Assets NOT Liabilities -
Always remember that they are assets not liabilities. Tap their abilities and skills! You can not do it alone! You can not learn all the things needed to make your organization successful! Don’t carry it all, share it with your members.

4.Be Flexible and Sensitive -
This is one good sign of a good leader, flexibility to different things. Being flexible doesn’t mean you must be for all areas all the time. Rather it is about knowing and deciding when to bend a little and give way to something.
How will you know that you are doing good as a leader if you are not sensitive to your members? For all you know, you are their problem already!This is specially true when demanding something from your members. If your members can not do what you are demanding of them, it is time to know what the problem is.


5.Have Fun -
Finally, have fun. A leader that is too serious is not good either. You need to have fun and put that smile on your face – a real, genuine smile. Why? Fighting the stress. Whether you like it or not, we will all feel the stress of running an organization and being in an organization.Always when you accept challenges with a smile and when you enjoy what you are doing no matter the stress you are in you, followers and the organization will gain a lot.
