Leadership qualities

There are a lot of qualities a leader has, and that is what makes that person a leader in the first place. One of the most important things for me in being a leader is Honesty. The platform of any relationship, both personal and professional, is honesty. People want to work for a leader they can trust, a leader that has morals, values, and integrity. They want to work for a person that offers a great product or service they can believe in, and that has an honorable reputation. Two of the greatest leaders for me are Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Junior. Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest Presidents to ever lead a country, and he didn’t achieve his success and earn that nickname by being dishonest. Martin Luther King fought for the rights of the black people with peaceful protest and with honesty. People want to feel good about the person they follow or look up to. it’s important to establish core values for both the people are trying to lead for good examples, and yourself as a leader, and to then live and lead by those values as an example to your employees, and also random people on a day to day basis. Without honesty it is hard for people to relate or believe in you and things you tell them. Honesty should be your main foundation and when honesty is built then people can trust and rely on you to do the right things. When things go wrong and you’re honest with people, even though you’re wrong they would understand and still support you because you were honest with them to begin with. To be a great leader you have to have people that would be there to support you and follow you. And with honesty you can be able to achieve and strive to be a great leader.
