Great Leader

A leader will help the organization facing some tough times. A good leader will have a plan in place already to react quickly during tough times. A great leader will have his very well plan even before the troubles exist and some time you will never know what dangers were in your path. Off all these leaders, there are only few great leaders who able see the path before anyone else.

  

They don’t have to see it alone. It is not necessary for a leader to be expert an intelligent in every aspect. They just need to be expert in communicating, delegating, motivating and leading a group of expert people to achieve the goals.

In other words, smart leaders know how to surround themselves with smarter people.  If you look around and you assume that you are the smartest person, you are not getting the full benefit of counsel.  Go find the smartest people in their disciplines. Create the smart team and achieve tremendous result.

Great leaders can have all those expert advisers helping them, but they do need to connect the dots and see where both problems and success lay in front of them. 

Leaders are readers. Reader here does not mean that a leader should read a lot of books and spend their lifetime reading in library or book’s store digesting all sorts of knowledge. The meaning of reader itself is much greater beyond that. Leaders should be able to 'read people' in his team.

Leaders should also know how to reach an individual to make him want to do what needed to be done. Needless to say, leaders should learn how to read their people by listen to others idea. Great ideas can come from anyone. Always be listening. Even a clerk can come up with a good idea.

Last but not least, if you want your people in the team to grow and develop, give them tough assignment. Great leaders groom people in his team for leadership. Give them opportunity to develop their skills. Being a leader, we create new leaders, not the all time followers. 

Great leader retain and sustain their great legacy, not only during his lead, but continuous toward the future.
