(1)______

The word ‘leader’ is rather prominent these days. The Webster’s Dictionary clearly defines a leader as a person of good talent in commanding influence to a group of fol­lowers. It also defines a leadership as that ingredient of personality that causes men whether male or female to follow.

(2) ______

What makes a good leader? The leadership style is the pattern of behaviors used to influence others. It is the ability to motivate others to do something, believe in some­thing or act in a certain way. Leaders are people who do the right thing. A leadership provides the vision, so that the management gets things done. Leadership can be learned. There are many classes of tools for effective leadership.

3. ______

A leader must have a vision and be able to focus. The leader must state in concrete ideas how programmers will work, who will be served, what outcomes are expected from a project, what technology will be used and how the organization will get there. Tell people what you want and expect from them and never waste their time. Leaders should be able to see what it will take to get the job done effectively.

3. ______

Leaders are also risk-takers. They must learn from their success and failure. They should be risky to take a chance. Leaders should always reward risk-taking in others. A leader must be able to empower others. Part of the empowerment process is to ensure that the leader listens to everyone’s suggestions, incorporates ideas as needed and gives credit to those who deserve recognition. Learning to give positive feedback is crucial!

3. ______

A leader must learn what motivates people and then act accordingly. Praise (tell the people they have done well), appreciation (a simple ‘thank you’ regularly will earn the leader the respect), recognition (awards, credit on a report, a letter of recommendation) or the truth about problems (being clear about consequences) are all motivators. Leaders should also have a quality that makes people listen. They should know how to strike the attention of listeners to be turned to them. When they speak, people listen.

3. ______

A good leader is able to change plans or tactics without hesitation the moment the old methods are not working well. An effective leader should be clear-headed, sensitive to the needs of change, self-confident but always ready to learn. The leader should be warm, direct and have a strong sense of justice. This quality is important, especially if the leader is going to touch on the lives of a nation where the people range from the old, young, feeble, weak, educated and uneducated and humans from all walks of life.
