While I was dwelling on the above aspects of leadership, other interesting characteristics of a leader struck me.
How strong is a person in his conviction?
How committed is he to his purpose and cause?
How often does he say “I don’t know and I want to know”?
How to others see him expressing his thought and conviction clearly?
Does he/she defend their team members against all odds?
How many people see him as a unique rare individual?
Perhaps many more questions.
I Would sum it up and say – “does he have the courage“?
A leader has to have a sense of inner courage to aim with a clear purpose, to work with clear values and to build for posterity and in the process to take the dust, the pain, the anguish and still smile all the way!
Are we ready and willing to exert ourselves to be courageous!
Until next time
A leader is a dealer in hope
