| There are several qualities
which are associated with Leadership and which need to be developed when people assume
leadership roles. A Sense of Mission: successful leaders have a VISION or DREAM which they are determined to see fulfilled. An Ability to put their Mission into Action: leaders make things happen and put their vision into effect. They act to make their dream a reality. An Emotional Maturity: this is an ability to separate oneself from a situation and make a dispassionate decision. It is also an ability to act under adversity or pressure. Independence: leaders can separate themselves from the group, are innovative and act decisively. They can continue to follow a vision when outside support is lacking or reward is not immediate. Willpower: a commitment and intense interest to see an action to its completion is a trait associated with leadership. Courage: leadership entails a willingness to take risks if the return is significant and achievable. Leaders do not always play it safe. Ambition: drive and energy toward a goal are characteristics associated with leadership. Empathy: leaders understand the needs, wants and desires of a group. They are able to formulate a plan which addresses these needs. Resilience: endurance and the ability to bounce back after failure or disappointment is a characteristic of a good leader. Management of Attention: leaders manage and direct the attention of others through a compelling vision. They communicate a sense of mission to others and involve others in that mission. |
