LEADERSHIP- A keynote !!

The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority ...
How many of you have worked under people who have Influenced you, how many have shown their Authority??? Any inputs you wanna give on how a leader should behave like...

1) A Leader should possess an influential character by virtue of which he deserves and gets respect from his team members and not by mere authority.


2) A Leader should accept the responsibility when things go wrong in the same way as when he deserves applause for keeping up the right things. (It should not happen that he accepts ownership of all right things and but blame on team members for all wrong things happened).


3) A Leader should motivate his team members and always keep their spirits up and alive. Should encourage them to have fun, meanwhile making them more aware of their responsibilities too. 


4) An Ideal Leader is one who has the ability to turn things/people from bad/worse to good/better. He who can not just point out negatives of things/people, but to address it and change the way to turn it right are key essentials.


5) Last but not the least, A Leader should not merely just wish for his own/ project-wise growth, but in parallel also help people under him to become good LEADERS. This what determines SUCCESS of an individual in full.

Leadership and success cannot just happen individualistic, but they can only be achieved collectively and not without the help of people around you

(This is my honest opinion put-up based on my experience working under several heads of different accounts. These are still my learning experiences and yet to address them practically in coming times. I might still lack expertise or experience to write on such topics yet)
