Can I also become a Leader?

You might be reading all over the internet the information on ‘Leadership’ and such skill how it helps to have your own ‘small home businesses’

Today’s question is – Can I become a Leader?

My personal belief is that we all are born with some or the other leadership skills. All that we need is to fine tune those traits and also acquire few more to be an effective leader. Leaders Think & Act differently!

It is extremely important to know the differentiation indicator between – skill of performance and skill of leading such performers. As you would have seen, the best teacher need not necessarily make the best head of the department or an excellent individual performer in office scenario need not make a good manager. Why is it so?



In simple English, we can define Leadership as a process by which a person develops capacity to influences people to accomplish specific objective and directs in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. This is my understanding I am sharing with you.

I understand that good Leaders are made and not born. If you have the burning desire, ready to quickly learn, then you can be a good leader. World’s best leaders have evolved through a continuous process of education, training, self-study and experience. Leadership is a winning combination of capacity to dream, think, foresee, visualize, belief, value, ethics, knowledge, plan, articulate, motivate, diversified etc. We can use any amount of adjectives, but Leadership is a winning combination of personal traits and taking actions. The trick is to understand the qualities and then quickly concentrate to learn these skills over a reasonable period of time. So, this is acquirable!

There are three variety of leadership. I shall not go deep into these, but shall try to provide the basis understanding.

  1. Natural Leadership – These leaders are gifted with some traits and when they exhibit the same, people get interested and they follow them as leaders. As mentioned above, some traits like being goo in listening, taking actions, being a good orator etc.
  2. Situational Leadership – These leaders are such that in a challenging situation, they dare to take charge of the situation, analyze and drive the situation to a logical end. If not for a solution, at least that will participate to find a solution while keep the stake holders together.
  3. Transformational Leadership – This is the leadership, which is acquired. These leaders show extraordinary interest to identify, understand and learn the skills of leadership.
So, by understanding & working through, you can also transform as a LEADER. Some of the points that help you to transform as a leader are jotted down. These are the few points from where you can start and then go deep for more understanding.

  1. Leader is always proactive and not reactive. They involve themselves completely while identifying the potential opportunity to be worked on. They always on the alert and put all their effort to understanding, analyzing, plan, adjusting, adopting and initiating.
  2. Visualization is one of the most important aspects to be an effective leader. This provides a sense of direction while handling the opportunities. By design, Leaders always dream and are passionate about their Vision.
  3. Leaders are not only passionate about their Dream & Vision, but also they share their thought process with others. This also helps them to crystallize on their thoughts and beliefs but also help in that Vision becoming a reality. This is one of the qualities that attract others to leaders instantly i.e. sharing!
  4. Leaders are always in the forefront implement their dream & vision. They are there always implementing specifics, improvising on their dream, vision and plan on continuous basis. They always make it a point to take decisions and carry out the required actions.
  5. Leaders have the capacity to inspiring. Their thoughts processes are well articulated to reach people which in turn defined into action plan. This proves the integrity among the people.
Although above mentioned are not the exhaustive list to follow to become a leader, the above points will give you an idea of what the leadership is all about and these points will help you to start with. As always told, becoming a leader is not difficult bit it is also not so easy. This requires the basic desire and hard work to acquire the leadership skills.

May God Bless You!

Blank text field might be better Blank text field might be better - Hi TheAnonymousMan, I like your idea! I'm assuming it would be similar to the status feature on Facebook where it might say "Kevin is ... " So I think having a blank text field in the profile box (and even "Leader" boxes on the left and top side of the forums if possible) might be more fun than just choosing from pre-set options from a drop down menu:D
Re: Business Women Peer Mentoring Spotlight Re: Business Women Peer Mentoring Spotlight - Hi Everyone, Gosh, I REALLY appreciate your concrete feedback. This was far more than I expected and I'm glad you said what you thought straight out. Each of you have shared something of value and I want to take some more time to think and really go over what each of you have said. However, I can see there are some things I need to change right away. What an interesting point about a NEW program perhaps making people think they are guinea pigs! This is NOT what I want to convey! It's funny how we can see some things so clearly in others while not always seeing it for ourselves! I must admit there are a few things I've been meaning to change (like my bio which is very outdated). Obviously, these things need to be higher on my priority list. You caught me like the plumber who puts his clients first and doesn't get around to fixing his own tap! As far as my target market, I do feel quite strongly about working with Women Leaders and doing Leadership Coaching with them. It's non-negotiable in my books. In my Executive Coaching training, the terms "Leaders" and "Executives" are interchangable. To me, an Executive is a Leader and so is the Business Woman or Entrepreneur who is CEO of her own business. I love working with decision makers! What I did learn is that I need to avoid opening up the Leadership term beyond what I described above. I'm also wondering if there is a misunderstanding with the general public as to what Leadership Coaching really is. Leadership Coaching is all about developing your leadership skills, both as a people manager and in more effectively running and growing the business. There is ALWAYS room for growth in some way. As well, sometimes, we just need a sounding board to clarify what our next BEST step is. In fact, if a woman thinks she has nothing to work on, then we aren't a good Client/Coach fit anyway. How can she grow if she doesn't see the value of expressing ALL of the great ability within her? How can her company grow if she doesn't see the value of strategic planning for the next best level? Thanks again to you all! I will go back to my website and really question whether I am conveying the right message. I got more than I bargained for in this Spotlight... you generously offered way more than I was asking. I think we could be on to something great for the Forum. Now it's time to let someone else have the spotlight. It would be great if everyone took a turn! In gratitude, Tami
