Introduction
Leadership is that talent that helps an individual to help one self and others through a crisis situation and attain the goal set set by aligning the direction of his team towards the ultimate goal. It is very important to be aware of the leadership one has in himself/herself to be a better leader and nourish these qualities. These leaders will be able to perform well on 'personal ', 'team ' and 'organisations ' point of view. This essay is the reflection of me as a leader and my thoughts regarding leadership.
The rings of the tree and temperaments (keirsey)
As far as the communication angle of my talent is considered I am concrete in nature. I have well formed ideas shaped enough to be imparted to others in a very convincing way. I concentrate on reality, and facts rather than simply conveying news on the basis of mind 's eye. But I am sensitive to other peoples change and try sensing a positive or negative energy in a person. In case I find negative energy I tend to sort their situation out by cooperating with them and turning the energy positive. I am also good at converting the the abstract ideas to concrete ones and implementing them if required with greatest dedication. I am cooperative in nature and this makes me friendlier to my colleagues. I am empathetic too and I allot works on the basis of my team members 'like ' or 'dislike ' and the 'quality of the work ' that are offered by them. This helps me to assign the 'right work ' for the team member and this helps in maximum productivity and satisfaction from the employees (Keirsey, 1998).
