Being a leader is something that we can have in our hearts or not. It can be learned like self confidence can be built but this is not something that you can buy. It also has nothing in common with our title in work or work status. We can be leaders at work and in life. But we do the same things in both situations.
1. Truth and nothing but the truth Leaders are not afraid to tell the truth which is not an easy thing especially on the nowadays business field when everyone says what is nice and pleasant for the listener. It doesn’t mean that leaders are impolite – they are just honest.
2. They do what their heart says In every business the human factors tends to be the most important ones. Every business is made for people and by them. True leaders are interested in people they work for and work with, they are trying to know them better. And real leaders are as sun – it gives what it has the best and in advance people (plants) are turning into it.
3. Strong character Strong character is a real power that people sense at distance. It’s a sort of charisma that can’t be left unseen. Real leaders are working at their characters constantly. They are also trying to say and do good things (good in the meaning of descent and truthful). That’s why people trust them, believe in them and want to listen to them.
4. They are brave To make things as we believe, against the crowd and other people is really hard thing. Doing so needs a lot of courage and leaders must be brave to do what they feel. Being a dreamer is not an easy thing. Doing what people sometimes don’t like is a path that not everyone choose.
5. Team builders Real leaders know what people real need. This factors is being a part of a real team. Leaders are not only aware of that but also know how to build a successful team. People love them for that!
