Humility

Humility

A humble leader is very courageous to show his weakness and he is also able to find out talents of others. It is the humility to let people know about the weaknesses. No one can improve their weak points without acknowledgement. A leader will be identified with ego if he or she does not accepting the feedback of weakness, which restrict the personal and professional development. We can say that humility is equals to growth.

A humble leader is not afraid to take help and guidance from others. Accepting others opinions and ideas is not means that a person has lack of competence. It makes the environment open and inspirational and more positive.

Ability to Inspire

Confidence

Confidence:Without confidence there is no leadership

Self-confidence is fundamental of leadership. Learning to be a leader without confidence is like building a house on a foundation of sand.

·         It is the ability to be influential, possess a sense of presence and deliver decisions.

·         A leader will make the decisions confidently, follow it, stand by it and admit wrong when they are wrong.

·         A leader will take risks to succeed. A leader will be self-aware and surround themselves with better people then they are, because the tasks are fulfilled by them.

·         A leader will have a mentor or peer they can sound ideas, fears and doubts with.

Confident leaders stay on top of positive thinking, keep celebrating and enjoying success and keep their target mental images strong. On the other hand they learn to handle failure. They accept that mistakes happen when we are trying something new. It is a fact that people learn more from their mistakes and are last long in mind. And there is a saying “if it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger!”
