“Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality” –Warren Bennis
In life we all have a vision,a dream, a fantasy but few of us have what it takes to make it a reality ,most of us would think back and say “Oh that was just a random wild though that I had when I was young” but the hard fact is that anything is possible with the right balance of application and effort which is where leadership plays a key role ,in many of our lives our dreams and visions are often complicated to the point that they cannot be achieved in isolation ,many of us whose dreams lie in the cooperate world should be aware of the fact that at some point one would have to assume the role of a leader which brings us to the main question “who is a leader” and “what is the meaning of leadership”. Well according to Bill Gates a leader is a person who empowers others, a person who has the courage to take tough decisions and stand by them, but more importantly a leader is someone who has the compassion to listen to the needs of his/her followers. However the most important quality a leader should possess is motivation a leader should be able to transfer his positive energy to his followers in order to build team spirit and desire to succeed collectively in terms of goal achievement people come from different cultures and different parts of the world but a leader should try to understand or empathize with his/her followers and act accordingly ,for example some employees may work better
