Whether leaders are made or leaders are born is a matter of debate. But the country needs leaders who are statesmen in standard providing direction guidance and wisdom to the leaders. Before you are a leader success is all about growing yourself.
When you become the leader, success is all about growing others. The essential qualities of a leader:
Trustworthiness
Leaders should act with authenticity, honesty, integrity, and reliability to build trust within their team.
Empathy
Leaders should be able to understand and connect with others emotionally to build rapport, resolve conflicts, and create a supportive work environment.
Courage
Leaders should be willing to take calculated risks, stand up for their beliefs, and confront difficult situations.
Decisiveness
Leaders should be able to make decisions, especially under pressure.
Communication
Leaders should have strong communication skills and be able to communicate their vision clearly.
Self-awareness
Leaders should understand their own thoughts, feelings, values, beliefs, and actions.
A good leader must produce few more leaders and not just preventing others to come up as he feels insecure. That is how we have several leaders, the same faces occupying the position for decades and no youth ever get a chance to become a leader.
This needs some correction and encourage young leaders with forward thinking and educate to run the governments, Political Leadership training schools must undertake such a task and nurture young leadership. India is a young country run by old leaders.
Selectively it is our determination to progressively train and develop 1100 young leaders per year by way of online coaching.
