History in its brightest and darkest moments witnessed the rise and fall of different leaders. There was Odysseus, Joan of Arc, Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler.
What common traits identified in those personalities mentioned? What leadership style they follow? I’m sure they have their own unique way of leadership.
For us to become a leader in our own rite we must guided and live with some basic rules.
WANNA BE A LEADER?…..FOLLOW THESE RULES…
A leader teaches through example not through words.
Arrives at work on time/first to arrive (punctuality is a virtue), exemplifies the work ethic, demonstrates the empathy and compassion that the staff must follow.
A leader praises their team and awards for accomplishment.
Always looks to catch people doing something right. Supervises and monitors the day to day activities.
A leader gives credit, yet never desires it
Guides the staff but allows them to make their own decisions that affect their work and then gives them the credit even though they perhaps could not have done it without the leader's help. In short, the leader sees growth as very important and let the subordinates grow on their own way.
A leader earns trust, never demands it
Earns trust by being honest and caring. Complete breakdown in trust will occur when a leader demonstrates an act of dishonesty or speaks disparagingly about another staff member in public. The staff soon believes that their leader may be dishonest in dealing with many things… or perhaps is speaking poorly to others about ME too.
A leader demonstrates good decision making skills
Makes decisions that are in the best interest of the WHOLE organization and thoroughly strives to understand all of the possible ramifications of their decisions
A leader has decipher their own character…they know their strengths and are able to admit and cope with their weaknesses.
Always secure enough to ask for help in areas of weakness
A leader responds well to criticism
Realizes that (constructive) criticism is part of the job…they not only accept it but they have the ability to look at it objectively to see if anything can be learned.
A leader is an expert communicator
Replaces demeaning phrases such as "that's not right" or "no, do it this way" with empowering statement such as "perhaps you may want to do it this way"…
A leader knows their organization. They recognize and respect that each person has their own individual characteristics, needs, strengths and weaknesses.
A leader never needs that symbolic "pat on the back" but realizes that everyone else does.
A leader is capable of putting aside all personal issues as they recognize the importance of peace and harmony on organizational productivity.
APPARENTLY, BEING A LEADER IS DEMANDING. IF IT WERE EASY….WE WOULD HAVE AN ORCHESTRA WITH ALL CONDUCTORS AND NO PLAYERS!
STILL WANT TO BE A LEADER?….IF SO, YOU MUST ABIDE AND LIVE BY THESE RULES!

As i read the story about the success of jake poore who spent 20 years working in walt disney in Orlando and Paris entertaining 25-35 million people a year.
My comment is that every company has their own mistakes in customer servicing. But give your best to serve the customer and turn them into loyal customers so that you can have understandable earnings in your company....

leader doesn't need a Pat" its a very well said. but they do need some kind accomplishments.
well I have a good story to share.
I work in an organisation I'm few of the permenant full time employees. My Boss she is a fine person friendly, trustworthy and appreciative. but there's another person who's kind of stubborn. her stubborness has dragged my Boss into a constant anxiety attacks, she can't sleep she can't sope with the situation. she has done everything to calm the situtaion down but the Stubborn lady refuses to comply and yet creates problem. well that stubborn lady's attitude is not likelable to every single employee and people are afraid to face her or to say anything. whatever sh does to others people come to my Boss with their concerns and again my Boss fins herself in jeopardy. its hard for her cope with the situation and she is suffering sleep deficits and yet no help coming from people. she is Honest person as far as I know because I consider myself a very good observer I wanted to help her but then again I thought she should do it herself, I came up with an Idea during the staff meeting I told her to let people know that she is teh Boss she should be respected any concerns any decission should not be made or delegated to staff without discussing with her. she should stand her grounds help other with empthy, delegate tasks, appreciate and monitor. thats what I thought was a best solution for her.
