How to be a Good Leader?
What is a leader? Is it someone who orders
others around or maybe someone who initiates and inspires others? In your
opinion can we consider our current world leaders as a true leader or not? Here
are the list of traits that we consider that a good leader should
possess. Selfless
A
selfless leader is someone who has little or no concern for oneself especially
with regards to fame, position, money and or any other thing but willing to
surrender anything for the sake of others. This trait is essential because selfless leaders must
think for the improvement of others rather than the contentment and richness of
oneself.
Good communicator
Communication is the most important key
to great leadership being able to explain the goal/plan to your team will lead
to success. Remember in communication listening and speaking are both
important, good leaders shares their idea at the same time they should listen
to their team. If you want to be successful, leader and members
should learn the art to clear communication. To become a great leader is to be
a great communicator.

Committed
Commitment
is the dedication of someone who works very hard to do something. It is very
important for a leader to be committed to their task in order to be successful.
Leaders should show to their team that they are committed, should work hard and
be a good example for them to be motivated and work hard too. By proving
to your team that you are committed you will earn their trust and respect that
will lead to good relationship.
Gives Credit
Giving credit or praising a specific
person for his or her job well done is one of the traits that a good leader
should possess. Not only does praising boost the confidence of your workers but
it also shows that you, as their leader, appreciate the effort that they
have exerted in order to achieve that goal and/or outcome. According
to Carol Dweck’s research entitled A Study on Praise and Mindsets, she stated
that praising someone using the right words helps them focus on a mindset about the growth of their
talent so that they won’t disappoint the person who praised them.

Inspires People
A good leader does not only work for the sake of monetary reasons and
fulfillment but they should also keep in mind that they need to impart their
knowledge and inspire the people around them. As a good leader, it
is part of their responsibility to give their fellow workers an overview on how
to become an inspirational leader. An example of a leader who inspired the future generations
is Nelson Mandela who not only fought against racism and led his people to democracy but he also gave his nation hope in order for them to look forward the future. 
Not only these characteristics help ensure the trust that your workers placed on you, but it also helps you, as an individual to grow with decent traits and values.
