Leadership
We live in a world where we are told everyday that “we are all leaders” – we are capable of leading and so we grow up with huge ambitions of wanting to be like the great “leaders” like Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King Jr.
But what is leadership? There are many definitions of leadership. The Collins English dictionary defines leadership as “the leader(s) of a party or group.” Yet true leadership is much more than that. A leader can be the CEO of an organization, or a first year employee who leads his or her team to success behind the scenes. A leader might lead through official authority and power, yet just as often great leaders lead through inspiration, persuasion and personal connections.
Good leaders are able to deliberately create challenging results by enlisting the help of others. They can single handedly turn failing companies into Fortune 500 organizations. They can change company cultures. Good leadership is an essential key to corporate success.
Traits of Successful leader:
Still, people know effective leadership when they see it. And while great leaders may sometimes be born that way, there are certain traits that great leaders share in common that anyone can practice and adopt to become more effective, which they are:
1)Honesty:
Whatever ethical plane you hold yourself to, when you are responsible for a team of people, its important to raise the bar even higher. Your

    “Good leaders treat people with dignity and respect.” Many of the charateristics seen in good leaders, such as self-awareness, reliability and sensitivity to the strengths and weakness of colleagues, are also features of followers. Taking responsibility and accepting consequences are other key components of leadership.(Rebecca Walberg(2010,January) Elusive lessons of leadership. National Post,pg.FP12) Effective leaders are, in effect, the compass that keeps an enterprise oriented toward a common goal, on that track toward a vision of future success.(David W.(2009,October) Effective leaders drives business success. National Post, pg.FP4)…

    Developing future nurse leaders is one of the greatest challenges faced by the nursing profession (Mahoney, 2001). Powerful leadership skills are needed by all nurses—those providing direct care to those in top management positions. Anyone who is looked to as an authority (e.g., a nurse taking care of a patient) or who is responsible for giving assistance to others is considered a leader (Mahoney, 2001).…

    are stepping up to the challenge of leadership development and their results are quite tangible. In Leading the Way: Three Truths from the Top Companies for Leaders (John Wiley & Sons, 2004), a study of the top 20 companies for leadership development, Marc Effron and Robert Gandossy show that companies that excel at developing leaders tend to achieve higher long-term profitability. But it sometimes seems there are as many approaches to leadership development as there are leadership developers. One increasingly popular tool for developing leaders is executive coaching. Hay Group, a human resources consultancy, reported that half of 150 companies surveyed in 2002 said that they had increased their use of executive coaching, and 16 percent reported using coaches for the first time.…

    While great leadership skills can make someone successful, the inverse is not true. Being successful doesn't make you a good leader. If you are looking for leaders to learn from make sure you are looking for people who actually have good leadership skills and not just someone who is successful. You can't assume that someone is a good leader just because they have had success. Many times people try to emulate people who have had success and try to follow their leadership styles. While this might be a good thing people often end up mimicking the bad habits of individuals.…

    Three recent texts (Useem 2010; Cappelli et al. 2010; Ladkin and Weber 2011) have discussed the different characteristics of successful leaders. Useem gives a reflection though comparing business leadership to military leadership in military trainings while the reports on empirical studies by Cappelli et al. and Ladkin & Weber focus on the different types of successful leaders from a local perspective in India and in Hong Kong respectively. A main common point of all three texts is that certain characteristics of leaders lead to the success in leadership. This review compares these articles in relation to communication skills, the ability to make effective decisions and to motive staff to finish missions.…
