How does a person become a proficient leader?

Answer 1

Empathy for others

Answer 2

Leadership is an inbuilt quality
everyone has it but rarely anyone uses it
leadership makes itself manifest after an experience that forces it to come out
As you observe,understand,question and answer...you find that people are going astray and away from the way of life they should follow...
That is when the leader in you gets up and says..." Well if they can't get it right, I'll do it for them. "....
Thus...you become a leader..if circumsatnces want you to...
You cannot become a leader if you want to....only experience and understanding along with compassion can make you one

Answer 3

In comparing various leadership styles in many cultures, academic studies have examined the patterns in which leadership emerges and then fades, sometimes by natural succession according to established rules and sometimes by the imposition of brute force.

The simplest way to measure the effectiveness of leadership involves evaluating the size of the following that the leader can muster. By this standard, Adolf Hitler became a very effective leader for a period — even if through delusional promises and coercive techniques. [6] However, this approach may measure power rather than leadership. To measure leadership more specifically, one may assess the extent of influence on the followers, that is, the amount of leading. This may involve testing the results of leadership activities against a goal, vision, or objective.

[edit] Suggested qualities of leadership
Studies of leadership have suggested qualities that people often associate with leadership. They include:

Guiding others through modeling (in the sense of providing a role model) and through willingness to serve others first (compare followership)
Talent and technical/specific skill at some task at hand
Initiative and entrepreneurial drive
Charismatic inspiration - attractiveness to others and the ability to leverage this esteem to motivate others
Preoccupation with a role - a dedication that consumes much of leaders' life - service to a cause
A clear sense of purpose (or mission) - clear goals - focus - commitment
Results-orientation - directing every action towards a mission - prioritizing activities to spend time where results most accrue
Optimism - very few pessimists become leaders
Rejection of determinism - belief in one's ability to "make a difference"
Ability to encourage and nurture those that report to them - delegate in such a way as people will grow
Role models - leaders may adopt a persona that encapsulates their mission and lead by example
Self-knowledge (in non-bureaucratic structures)
Self-awareness - the ability to "lead" (as it were) one's own self prior to leading other selves similarly
