Become A Leader
Contrary to what most people believe, leadership is not about power. It is not about
harassing people or driving them using fear. It is about encouraging others towards
the goal of the organization. It is putting everyone on the same page and helping
him or her see the big picture of the organization. You must be a leader not a boss.
People follow others when they see a clear sense of purpose. People will only follow
you if they see that you know where you are going. If you yourself do not know
where you're headed to, chances are people will not follow you.
Being a leader is not about what you make others do. It's about who you are, what
you know, and what you do. You are a reflection of what you're subordinates must
be.
Studies have shown that one other bases of good leadership are the trust and
confidence your subordinates have of you. Trust and confidence is built on good
relationships, trustworthiness, and high ethics.
Once you have their trust and confidence, you may now proceed to communicate the
goals and objectives you are to undertake.
Communication is a very important key to good leadership. The knowledge and
technical expertise you have must be clearly imparted to other people. You must be
able to assess situations, weigh the pros and cons of any decision, and actively seek
out a solution.
Leaders are not do-it-all heroes. You should not claim to know everything, and you
should not rely upon your skills alone. You should recognize the skills and talents
your subordinates have. Only when you come to this realization will you be able to
work as one cohesive unit.
Remember being a leader takes a good deal of work and time. It is not learned
overnight.
