A good leader succeeds when he has distinctive characteristics. Effective leadership reflects with soft communication skill, positive approach, time bonding, hard work, innovations, trust & co-operation with colleagues.

Here are the points you should work on to develop good relation with your colleagues & to develop leadership skills.

Communication & Decision:

Communication is nothing but exchange of ideas, information. Motivate your team to share their thoughts. Elders will share experience with you, whereas new generation who is very familiar to latest technology will help you to optimize the work. Be patient, be polite & listen to others. You should be free minded to welcome new ideas.

Decision making is one of the difficult tasks. Sometimes you have to take quick decisions. Be confident & always stick to your decision. Right decision will give you whatever you expect or may be more or less than your expectations. A wrong decision will give you an experience. There is nothing you lose. In any case you are the winner.

Time management (Be punctual):

Time management is one of the important qualities a leader should possess. It will help to grow you as a leader, as all tasks will be done on time. If a leader is punctual then followers will be punctual as well. Your punctuality for commitments or responsibilities shows respect for others. When you are on time for any commitments others will also realize that your time is as important as their own. Certainly, it will develop respect for a leader. 

Inspiration:

Somewhere, sometime everyone needs an inspiration. Leader should be an inspiration to his team members not because of his position but because of his achievements & struggle to achieve the goal. 

As a leader, do something innovative, creative. Inspire team member to work hard & to achieve their full potential. This will help the ladder of growth within the organization to go up & up.

Accountability & trust:

Leader is on higher delegation of the system, he cannot be everywhere every time. Hence it is necessary to distribute the work. Everyone has different way of work execution. So as a leader it’s your duty to give freedom to your colleagues to execute the work the way they want. 

It may be possible that you may get better output than expected. Accept the change. Trust your team members for their work. Leader should understand his team members & treat everyone equally irrespective of their designation. 

Empowerment:

Empowerment is assigning any responsibility or authority to team members. This granting of power will make people stronger & more confident. They will feel more valued. This is your investment for future. 

There are few characteristics of people which make them a good leader & there are few characteristics which a leader should adapt. By implementing the above mentioned characteristics one can find that result is unbelievable & this is a right track for leader.

Now it’s your turn to become a good leader rather than a follower.
