However, I just know that being a leader is what I consider myself to be. I am a leader that wants what is best for the organization and what is best for all employees. I am a leader that believes you can never stop learning. Being honest, candid, having passion, respect, confidence, clarity, care, integrity, compassion, and able to engage employees, shows good leadership. Good leadership is having shared visions, humility, empowering, communication and being fearless; this is the type of leader that employees would want to lead them. These are all of what my personal philosophy of leadership is and more. When it comes to being a leader, I do not want to be just good, I want to be one of the best and at some point in my life, the…
A good leader has great vision. He knows where he wants to go and he knows how to motivate people to believe in the same vision he has for his group and life. He views things as what they could be and not what they are. A good leader is a very passionate person. He is intensely obsessed in whatever he is focused on. He also has compassion for his fellows. While he has goals to accomplish, he consistently cares for the individuals that support him. A good leader is not a selfish individual only thinking about his wants and needs. Also, a good leader is determined in attaining his goals. It is undeniably true that the key to leadership is accomplishing the tasks at hand while building relationships.…
Being a leader is more that motivating others to strive harder and accomplish goals. It’s more about gathering everyone with different skills, religion, ethnicity, etc. and making them one. As a leader, the task is to develop new strategies, tackle problems as soon as they start, recognize signs of stress, leave personal problems as home, put the job first, etc. Not everyone makes a great leader because time isn’t implemented to make changes that are necessary and don’t put the needs of the organization and members in thought. I will discuss who has been a great leader in my life any why. Along will that, I will discuss my traits as a leader.…
Every great leader starts with three great character traits. To be a good leader, you cannot major in minor things; you must be less distracted than your competition. Leaders need inspiration, they are not self-made; they are driven. A leader should be patient, open-minded, and present a positive attitude.…
I believe good leaders have the desire and willpower to become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience. I think one of a leaders' main goals should be to inspire their workers into higher levels of teamwork, which can be acquired through continual work and study. Good leaders should constantly be working and studying to improve their leadership skills. Leadership is defined as a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. Leaders carry out this process by applying their leadership attributes, such as beliefs, values, ethics, character, knowledge, and skills.…
It is noted (Mukunda, 2012) that some of the best leaders without much experience such as Steve jobs and Abraham Lincoln make a conspicuous figure with their distinctive decision-making, while competitors who own extensive experience may act just like the same as each other. Thus leads to an idea that the best leaders do not need experience. The essay will analyse the topic and figure out the relations between leadership and experience, exploring a better way of selecting great leaders. First of all, it will illustrate the important role of experience in improving leadership. Second, it is going to point out the fact that there is no absolute evidence to prove the necessity of little experience for great leaders, since quite a few experienced leaders achieve their outstanding success as well. Next, the reason why those relatively less-experienced leaders perform differently and better than some insiders will be exposed. Then it will indicate some invisible but valuable experience which those so called outsiders actually own, and further discusses which kind of experience a great leader should have. Finally, the essay is to make suggestions about how to promote and make a choice between those two kinds of leaders appropriately. The Center for Creative Leadership (2012, cited by Brotherton, 2013) reported that 52% of C-Level executives take the view that experience creates a leader. Whether people believe that leaders are born or made, they never ignore the significant influence of experience to a great leader. On one hand, the common traits owned by great leaders such as sensing the situation and stress the difference are typically gained by process of learning from experience (Goffee and Jones, 2004). Faced with all sorts of challengeable situation, using critical thinking to find out the cause and effect of the problems and possible solutions undoubtedly will improve individual’s leadership skills. Working and…
In today’s organizations there is a greater focus on employees stepping up to be leaders rather just managing their respective responsibilities. It is not enough to simply manage tasks and perform your delegated responsibilities any more employees are expected to take initiative and motivate those around them to also be leaders even if you are not a manager by title. In order to be a leader, one must start by making a commitment and learn those skills needed to model the way and be examples to others. As our organizations become more diverse, being able to manage ethics and diversity is also important as we will encounter and work with others who have different perceptions, thoughts and experiences than what we may be accustomed or familiar with. We must be become change agents in our organizations, people who challenge the status quos and established processes in an ethical manner. If employees are motivated and engaged, organizations will be successful and be able to withstand adverse environments.…

What makes a great leader? This is a critical question—one that demands an answer. It's actually a tricky question, something known in persuasive circles as a false dichotomy. It's false because genetics and environment both play a part in leadership development. Intelligence (IQ) plays an important role in leadership development, as does emotional intelligence (EQ). Certain personality traits such as self-confidence, dominance and extroversion are also essential. Our family often influences us, as does our national and organizational culture. Sadly, some may have the potential to lead, but were never given the opportunity. And tragically, some believe they cannot lead, when they could have. A failure to take operational control; mental rigidity preventing adaptation of new ideas and threatening innovation; an inability to handle the stress, manifesting itself as a lack of emotional stability; and a failure to communicate in a way that inspires hope and trust can never take a man ahead in life and gain him public acclamation and appraisal.…
