Define a leader?

Question

What are the qualities of leader. How a leader should lead to get more productivity,respect and positive result?

Answer 1

A leader is someone who leads strongly, but isn't bossy. Someone who is admirable but not superior. Someone who gets the job done, but doesn't rush. A leader needs to be someone you can relate to and understand, but someone you're far enough from to take them seriously. Your friends don't make good leaders because you know them to well, you know how they think and you don't take them seriously enough in times like that. But a good leader needs to understand the people he/she is leading.

A leader gains respect just the way a regular person does. Act appropriately, don't be foolish, treat everyone as equals.

Don't use stand over tactics to get the job done. Appear like you are a regular everyday person, the average Joe but will some class. You can always relate to a good leader.

Hope this helped. (:

Answer 2

To put it bluntly leadership is having the charisma to "con" another into doing what the leader wills. They are successful if the persons they lead still have or can be induced to have, the childlike instinct to imitate otherwise they often lead by forcing their will on their subordinates.

Every parent is a leader, like it or not, and fulfills the child's instinctual need to imitate by, often unwittingly, setting an example. This job as a parental leader is probably the most important single job in the human repertoire of skills and is done by those usually just past childhood without any real formal training.

Good luck "conning" your subordinates into doing your will, good mental health, peace and Love!

Well sorry if you may not like the military but I'm a leader in the military. SSG, platoon Sgt. My troops love me from all other leaders within our unit because I get things done with them. I get dirty with them, If they fail this means I failed as a leader. Nothing gets done or imposed on anyone if I have not done it myself or willing to do it again. I must and have to be proud of my guys for trying with failure because that becomes the root of success. A leader may not always get positive results because all minds and bodies perform differently and that's a characteristic of a leader, being able to compensate. A leader may not be respected, but leading is about teaching, guiding and learning with his people. Productivity may not be attained at full power, but that's why the human mind gives us the will and want to surpass our mistakes and lessons.... I hope that wasn't too redundant but that's what i have seen in my self and what I've been told others see in me. Hope that helps.

Answer 8

The Tao De Ching by Lao Tzu, chapter 11, says that the best leader is one that is hardly noticed, and when the task is done, the people say "We have done it ourselves." The next is one who is loved and adored. The worst is one who is feared. I feel the best leadership quality is being able to quietly direct, with the ones doing the task getting the credit. peace
