HOW TO BE A GOOD LEADER!!!

Hello, I trust you are doing well this morning. The second characteristic of how to be a good leader, we will be looking at today is;

                                                     2.   Being firm, but kind: Since you're leading, you're the one that needs to set the rules and boundaries. It's up to you to establish some system, rhyme and reason to the situation. To do so, you must be firm in your convictions and keep to your stance. However, being dictatorial will instigate a revolution. Be logical and understanding when you assert your rule.  

Here's an example of poor leadership: An airline's forks kept disappearing and no one knew why. After an investigation, it was discovered that the dishwashers were throwing them away because they couldn't get them adequately cleaned and would be reprimanded by their boss so in order to avoid that, they kept throwing the forks away.If you're too dictatorial, your team will throw away your forks ( valuable assets). So as a leader, be kind and your team will keep your entire cutlery. Source: http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Leader

HOW TO BE A GOOD LEADER!!

In the next one month, we will be sharing with you some characteristics of a good leader.

To be a leader, you don't have to be an elected official, or a CEO. A leader is someone who others consistently want to follow for new trends and ideas. A fancy title can make that happen temporarily, but a true leader inspires steadfast loyalty with the steps below!. Today, the characteristic we will be looking at is;

                         

   1.  Confidence: This step has nothing to do with actually knowing what you're doing -- as long as you're confident, few people will ask questions. People assume things, and when you act as if you belong, they assume you do. Therefore, when you are confident, they will naturally assume you know what you are doing. This gains you trust, responsibility, and respect.  Confidence can be hard in any situation. Imagine saying, "I don't know the answer," while looking down, thumbs twiddling, and your legs fidgeting. Now imagine saying, "I don't know the answer," with your head up, your shoulders back, and looking the speaker in the eye. Not knowing something is fine -- just be confident that you don't know it! A lack of knowledge has nothing to do with your confidence (or ability to lead).
