Who is an excellent leader? A leader is someone who can inspire you, ignite a fire in you and show you a path to success.
You must have heard a quote saying that ‘Leaders are born and not made.’ Is it true?
Does this mean that leaders cannot be made? I doubt it. Leadership skills can be learned and with an optimum intellectual level, great leaders can be developed.
Of course, there are people who are born with certain leadership traits but it doesn’t mean that others are not capable.
What qualities develop an excellent leader? Let’s discuss it here.
A Dreamer
It all starts with dreams. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam said that dream is not what you see in sleep; the dream is something which doesn’t let you sleep.
When you have dreams in your eyes that make you restless, you are in the right direction. We all have dreams. But, dreams have a value when you pursue them with full dedication.
You want to become an actor but you won’t face the audience. You are conscious when people are around you.
For being an actor, you have to shed all inhibitions. You have a dream but you don’t have the guts. This will not help you in reaching your destination.
A leader has the capability of weaving a dream for you. A leader tells you that nothing is impossible and if you are capable, nothing can stop you.
A Good Learner
Dream defines your goal. Learning defines your ability to pursue that goal. Learning is an integrated process in our life. Every moment, you learn something new.
Chasing your dream requires a considerable effort. You need to gather immense knowledge so that you can refine yourself.
Indulge in learning from various sources. The best methods of learning are reading and listening, observing, and learning from experiencing.
You will get opportunities to spend time with great leaders. Listen to their speech, read their biographies, about their accomplishments.
This will help you in inculcating traits of leadership. Observe their habits and behavior.
Great leaders have a peculiar style and an irresistible charm. Learn as much as you can and don’t forget to analyze your thoughts.
