How to be a leader

You can’t become a leader just by saying you are. Being a leader is to spend time developing the quality, attitude, bearing, manner and apperance of a leader.

Without followers it is not possible to be a leader, a leader is unable to function any organisation by themselves. Leader are people who want to get things done through cooperation and not just for personal gains, and they have ability to listen to internal and external advice before making decisons. Leader are people who not only command respect from their peer group but from their superiors and subodinates and they are accepted as, and are seen to be, capable of accepting responsibility and accountability. "Six traits of effective leaders: 1. Make others feel important; 2. Promote a vision; 3. Follow the golden rule; 4. Admit mistakes; 5. Criticize others only in private; 6. Stay close to the action. Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire."– Christian Nevell Bovee

Leadership is not about the product, profit, and plant, but it is about people. Moreover, it is not an science, but an art.
