Shakespeare once said that
" Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them"
In my opinion, I think that leaders are born. To lead, one have to have few born in traits..
PATIENCE- Good leader should have a great level of patience , to be able to listen to their subordinates even if they are as slow as a snail. And i think that this is a born trait.
FAIRNESS- This is the only way how a superior or leader is measured by people. If a leader is not fair, the subordinates will fight, have disrespect towards the leader and indirectly will produce an unwanted outcome.
MODESTY- By being modest and humble, a leader can minimise the potential of jealousy within the team who are envious about the team leadership.
APPRECIATION- A good leader should appreciate every little pieces achieved bt his or her team. When a leader appreciates , it will motivate the person to strive even better. The team must be able to feel good about their talents and skills.
SENSE OF HUMOUR- This is inborn trait every leader should have to avoid awful lot of time in meeting or speaking in public. By having this quality in a leader, a leader can convey the message effectively.
CONFIDENCE- If a leader shows hesitation or self-doubt, it will affect the rest of team because team follows the leader. Team will respect and listen to a leader who is confident not who hesitates.
PASSION- People will admire and respect leader who takes pride when working, tries hard but still enjoys doing the work. A leader should have passion to have continous motivation.
TRUSTWORTHINESS- Ethics and trust are the leadership traits that have the highest importance. Nobody will obey or follow someone they distrust. The subordinates should have a deep trust on their leader. Noone will able to associate with an untrustworthy leader. A leader should not let down expectations. In simpler words, in order for trust to be earned, worth and responsibilty should be proven.
Even a few traits above can be learned, a few cannot be. This is why i think great leaders are born and not made.
