A leader is someone who helps others do and become
more than they ever thought possible. Leadership is about unlocking potential,
whether individual potential or that of a group, company, or organization. It
is not about telling people what to do, but inspiring them to see what they are
capable of, then, helping them get there.
In addition to being self-aware, an
effective leader is not afraid to take on responsibilities. Sometimes it
requires putting the organization or group first and keeping it there. Leadership is "organizing a group
of people to achieve a common goal". The leader may or may not have any
formal authority. Students of leadership have produced theories involving
traits, situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and values,charisma,
and intelligence, among others.
Is leadership a position of office or
authority? Or, is leadership an ability in the sense that he is a leader
because he leads? We all may know or hear of people who are in positions of
leadership but who are not providing leadership. A position of office is no
guarantee of leadership but it helps in the sense that a leadership position
usually commands a listening ear from its people and that is a good starting
point for anyone who desires to be a leader.
A leader by its meaning is one who goes first and leads by example, so that
others are motivated to follow him.
Problem of leader
The
next thing is to collect all the facts about the problem- most problems are not
as big as they seem at first, once everything is known. Also, facts will help
you find a better solution, faster. Knowing this is the next step can remove
the emotion out of the situation- if someone comes to you with problem, simply
begin asking questions and gather the facts. Sometimes you have dig to get to
the real problem! How do you dig? Keep asking questions. Leaders are good at
asking the right questions- and listening.
The trend toward globally connected markets will
become stronger. Leaders will need to
understand the economic, cultural, legal, and
political ramifications. Leaders will need to see
themselves as citizens of the world with an expanded field of vision and
values.
Two factors making global thinking a key variable for
the future are the dramatic projected
increases in global trade and integrated global
technology, such as e-commerce. Future leaders
will have to learn how to manage global production,
marketing, and sales teams to achieve
competitive advantage.
Future leaders will also need to appreciate cultural
diversity, defined as diversity of leadership
style, industry style, individual behaviors and
values, race, and sex. They will need to
understand not only the economic and legal
differences, but also the social and motivational
differences that are part of working around the world.
Understanding other cultures is not just
good business practice - it is a key to competing successfully in the
future.
An appreciation of cultural diversity will need to
include both the big and the small things that
form a unique culture. Religion is one of the most
important variables affecting behavior in a
region. Smaller issues, such as the meaning of gifts,
personal greetings, or timeliness, will also
need to be better understood.
Tivate people in different
cultures will become increasingly important.
Motivational
strategies that are effective in one culture may be offensive in another culture. The
same recognition that
could be a source of pride to one could be a source of embarrassment to
another. Leaders who
can understand, appreciate, and motivate colleagues in multiple cultures
will become an increasingly
valued resource.
Many future leaders
who have been raised with technology view it as an integrated part of their
lives. Many present
leaders still view technological savy as important for staff people and
operations, but not
for them. We need not all become gifted technicians or computer scientists,
but we need to:
Understand how the
intelligent use of new technology can help us
Recruit, develop, and
maintain a network of technically competent people
Know how to make and
manage investments in new technology
Be positive role
models in leading the use of new technology
a leader must be able to understand the
conditions of his followers. to become a leader should be able to control his
emotions. emotions do not exist in a leader in the vent on innocent people
because it can impose itself.
A good leader is a wise leader, independent, intellectual and friendly to
everyone.
Young graduates can replace
leaders who have
long. The growth of the early education of
young people to be
able to become a leader of quality and responsibility.
