| What makes a leader? |
What is
leadership? Being a great leader is definitely a set of very definite
skills, these skills take a long time to develop it encompasses
emotional maturity, the ability to be humble but not a walk over and the
experience to be able to sense what way to go with out too much detail,
these are a few traits of a good leader.
Another
very important leadership skill is empathy and being fair, always
maintaining dignity and treating everyone equally. I have been in the
fortunate position to have had 2 very great managers 2 men whom I have
learned a lot from and who have my respect forever. I believe a manager
should guide you without making you feel belittled, should protect you
without covering up for you and should mould you and develop you for
bigger and better than where you are by giving you the freedom to make
decisions and run with projects while they assist and guide you.
Real
leadership is development and empowerment, a good leader will always
want to build staff and develop their skills, while a slave driver type
manager will always milk you for what you can do and never really
encourage you to better prospects.
We can be
leaders in many things... At home in our communities, at work and even
as a mentor to a young adult. Being a good leader is not something you
are born to be it needs work especially on yourself as a person.
We
all have people we look up to and can learn from in our lives, here's
to all the wonderful and inspiring leaders in my life, my parents
firstly and everyone else who contributed and will still contribute to
my development and growth
