Eighty-nine percent of global corporations see leadership as a very important issue. They believe that their number one strategic priority is to close the unnecessary leadership gaps. Thus, spending almost $31 billion on improving their leadership initiatives and programs in the year 2017. These corporations have a strong determination to spend even more on improving their leadership development programs in the coming years. 

 

Although “leader” and “leadership” are recurrent business terms, only a few enthusiasts know their true meaning. Also, the more recent works of authors and writers like Abraham Zalenznik and Daniel Goleman have brought some fundamental shifts in the way we look at leadership. Their work was radically foreshadowed in W.C.H Presentice’s 1961 article which rejected the notion of “leadership being enforcement of power and possession of extraordinary analytical skills”. Thus changing the entire anatomy of leadership and the way we perceive it. 

 

With so many schools of thought, challenging our belief system, it is imperative to study this term in detail. 

What follows is a brief about leadership, its qualities, and a few templates to support your vision and mission. 

 

What exactly is leadership and how to become a great one at that? 

According to Warren Bennis, a pioneering leadership researcher, “ Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality”. It is the responsibility of the leader to possess a deep-sighted vision and get things done based on it. They need to be efficient communicators to emerge as true leaders much like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, and many more. Warren also states that leadership does not depend on one’s title. Thus, anybody can emerge as a true leader to inspire, engage, and influence his peers and stakeholders, without possessing C-level responsibilities in an organization. 

A few Qualities of a Good Leader:

  • Passion and innovation 

 

A leader should be passionate enough to motivate his team and get things done on time. He also needs to be innovative enough to introduce new ideas and strategically implement them with the help of his team. Only a person with a big goal in mind, can build up an efficient team of professionals and meet deadlines on time. Thus making, passion and innovation important qualities for success. 

 

  • Communication skills

 

A leader should possess indisputable communication skills to simplify the lives of his peers. It is the quality of a great leader to influence the ones listening to him. He should also be able to convey his thoughts with extreme clarity and enthusiasm, to bring in the much-needed good energy among his listeners. Only through the right communication, his team will feel valued and important, thus increasing their overall productivity.  

 

  • Learning Enthusiast

 

A great leader is one who indulges in self-development activities to hone his skills. He should be an avid learner, constantly replenishing the pool of knowledge and adding more to it. This will help in bringing more to the table.

 

  • Team Enthusiast 

 

A great leader should be a catalyst of great nature, who can manage a team very well.
