LEADERSHIP...

There are 11 major attributes to leadership. These are summarized below:

1)        Unwavering Courage Unwavering courage means full belief in oneself and one's occupation. No intelligent follower will follow a leader who lacks self-confidence and courage.

2)        Self-Control Put simply, if you cannot control yourself then you can never control others. Self-control is a must in

leadership.

3)        A Keen Sense Of Justice Essential for leadership in any calling. Otherwise you will lose the respect of your followers.

4)        Definiteness of Decision If you do not make strong decisions then you are unsure — people do not follow one who is unsure.

10)   Willingness to Assume Full Responsibility

A successful leader must be willing to be responsible for the mistakes and shortcomings of their followers. If a follower has failed he must consider that he or she has failed and do whatever it takes to put it right.

This is essential. As well as co-operating with others a successful leader must also induce his/her followers to co-operate. Leadership calls for power and power is only available through the help of others which requires co-operation.
