It takes guts to be a leader. But it takes everything to be a good one, and successful at that. It takes hard work, patience, courage, respect, and passion to lead the pact. Some say that nobody is born a leader. Others say they are made. Actually, both are true. It depends on how you get to be one. One thing is for sure. It is not easy to be a good leader.
A true leader actually does not lead all the way. He stays beside the team and acts like one of them. He goes with them so that he guides and assists the whole team in achieving one goal. Also, he stands behind them so that he could see everything that’s going on and he is there to support their backs.
There are lot stumbling blocks of leadership and here are some I have identified:
Those are the known stumbling blocks of leadership but it is not always the leader at fault in not achieving the good leadership that one is looking for. There should be symbiosis. The team members should also play their part. They should believe in the capacity of their leader and respect his ideas and suggestions. Behind a good leader are good members and a good team as a whole.
