What Exactly a leadership is ?
Some say leaders are born, others say leaders are thrust into positions of leadership and find their way, and some say leadership can be learned through life.
I like to believe in the third postulate. Developing leadership is something that comes from life experience. Go ahead and believe in fairy tales of magical leadership qualities that come from birth - I dont. Theres a lot to be said about leadership and what it is that makes a leader thats more important than anything else.
A leader is someone who respects the people around him or her. Every individual on the team has a talent or a special skill that makes that individual stand out. Its up to a true leader to understand that and find that skill and use it to the advantage of the team and at the same time make the individual feel like he can contribute.
A leader can evoke a sense of team spirit and can get members of a team to perform at levels they did not know they were capable of. A good leader will get to understand everyone on his or her team and get to know what motivates them. This provides a leader with fuel to drive each member of the team to perform at peak levels.
